Default RE: Tuning two blade broad heads

The bow needs to be tuned for proper arrow flight and each arrow spin tested to ensure there is no wobble in the broadhead.
Feather fletch, helical.3-4" or 4-3" should do the trick.Trad style heads seem to appreciate a little more FOC, as well.
I shoot a compound and two blade heads (muzzy phantoms, no bleeders) and the above quotes just about cover it. Start with a well tuned bow, an arrow that is spined correctly and 12+% FOC (my preference) and it should tune and shoot with FP's. You may not want to use 2 blade BH's if your going to be shooting over 300 FPS. I have heard the higher speeds are not friendly with larger surface BH's like a 2 blade would be.
ive heard that 2 blade heads like to be aligned with the string
I have not found that to be the case. It looks cooler with the BH alignedto the string but the arrow flys the same regardless.
