Hi all,
if you go back and read the first post, i said noting about flight. Spining truly is what i said. The arrows are carbon express max. hunters, the spine is perfect, the broadheads are muzzys, one guy hit it on the head. The shafts were cut alittle off sq. this was not done by me. And it seams most of you have no idea what iam talking about with the alum. shafts and hot melt. Prob. to young.
You put your insert in with a glue called hot melt. Its a solid stick you heat with a candle or some type of flame. Heat it up and smear some on your insert and just a little in your shaft. Put it on a field point and reheat. Then slide it into your shaft. let it cool. If the broadhead is not SPINing true on the shaft, heat it up a little till it will rotate and keep doing this till you get it to spin Perfect.
This was not ment to be a SA session, just wondering if anyone who care about perfect alignment between arrow and broadhead had found any simple tricks for carbons. I do like them for the lack of weight and durabiliy. Some of you are making way to much of this. So dont get pissed at my reply, i do like this forum, I did learn about the jackhammer tech. here. By the way, it worked perfect on an old gold tip arrow, no luck on the C.E. yet.
Thanks , Steve
calm down and get used to the place. You came on a little strong is all. Happens to most everybody here and it's a 2 way street, your kind of taking the replys a liitle too strong.
Here's my take, doesn't matter if the shaft is square or not, there's no way the insert can go in not square unless it's loose in the shaft and I havent found any (carbons) that were, all fit pretty tight even before the glue. It's not like your cross threading them in there. Just my take on it and there could be cases were it matters, I've never seen it and spinning it if it is out of square wont make it square. If anything I'd say a bad insert or head. Then again, I've never cut one out of square orever had one not spin true unless the ferrul was bent.
Most everybody round here knows what hot melt is and how to use it.
CE's fly great, I hate the finish. Reminds me too much of the noise aluminums make when drawn.
Don't care for fmj's and don't see how one of them, if they are cutout ofsquare wouldn't have the same problem even worse if it is an issue, the ferrul doesn't fit as tight as the insert.
Don't take the place to seriously, it'll eat you up and no body else really cares, were all taking ourselves to seriously to pay much attention to you.
