Default RE: broadheads


The arrows are Cabelas Stalker Extreme (carbon) 65/80 (9.3 gpi), cut at 28 1/2"

The arrows have feathers at 4" in length.

The field tips are 125 gr. and the broads are 125 gr muzzy 3-blade
I'd have to say those arrows are way over spined for your bow.

Tuning isn't as hard as you may think, strip the feathers off one of the arrows. Shoot it bare saft with the 125 grain field point from 15 yards. Never with a broadhead. I think you'll get a hard nock kick to the right and the arrow will drop left. If you are a righty. Reverse if lefty. If this happens, the arrows are over spined. You will be able to weaken them by adding a lot of grain weight up front. Either by increasing the point weight or using a 50 or 100 grain brass insert. Remember that carbon and aluminum arrows are spined for compounds, not traditional bows. That 65/80 cut to 28 1/2 is spined close to 90#'s or more. Next time you get arrows stay with 45/60 cut to 28 or 29. They will be closer to your bows specs.
