Public Service Announcement RE: Broadhead Flight
"They fly just like field points". How many times have you heard this? What does this mean, to you?
There is NO (non-mechanical) BH that will inherently or by default "fly just like field points". Somehow the marketing got off track....or bowhunters got more gullible. And, shooting a mechanical (because you can't get fixed blades to fly straight) is only putting a band-aid on a potential gaping wound (i.e. possible major tuning issue that's adversely affecting your arrow's performance).
To many of you vets, this is old hat. But it's something I learned from trial and ERROR (many).......
THE ONLY WAY A FIXED BLADE BH IS GOING TO FLY LIKE YOUR FIELD TIPS.....IS IF YOUR BOW IS PROPERLY TUNED TO SHOOT IT.
With the season looming, ask yourself if you fully understand what tuning your bow properly entails. And, if you don't....seek out someone in the forum (if you want to know who they are....I'm sure their names will be listed in this thread). There's no shame in this.
I think it would be great if Rob/PA; TFox; Bruce Lanthier (or anyone else well versed) would do a tutorial on Bow/BH tuning. The guides are one thing. An interactive tutorial would benefit MANY.
