I'm going to get back into bowhunting for deer this fall after a layoff of about 30 years. Much has changed during that time, especially with compound bows. So, I was wondering about a couple of things regarding the selection of broadheads, and therefore would like your opinions based on your personal experience.
- I'm considering the fixed blades, vs expandables, and wonder which flies truer, a 3-blade or 4-blade broadhead & why?
- If a 3-blade head, does it really matter if the blades align with the fletching?
- If the 4-blade should fly truer, would that suggest the arrow should have 4 fletchings?
Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Recently, I've been comparing the Muzzy MX-3 with the Muzzy MX-4, and those prompted the questions above.
The assistant (younger gentleman) in the local pro shop stated the 3-blades ran truer and the blades should be aligned with the fletching. He stated that an O-ring is used behind the broadhead, in which the tightness of the broadhead would vary to align the broadhead with the fletching. Frankly, this impressed me as being a bit too theoretical, lacking some practicality.
