Not sure if it holds water or not but a long time bow shooter at a pro shop who was known as someone who knows, told me when shooting 3 balde fixed broadheads to always shoot them with 2 blades up and one blade straight down. Like I said not sure how technically correctthis is but I have always done it and so far have never had a problem with any of my 3 blade fixed broadheadsflying erratic and I don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
