Default RE: Should I compensate for this?

Nuge , I went through this with Rocket Steelheads.........and I had 3 out of 3 deer duck shots when I tried to hunt with them anyway ! There a tons of guys on here that swear by Steelheads........I guess I'm the unlucky one !

If your problem was like mine.......it's probably the o-ring on the head fluttering in flight ! I don't know anyway you can fix it .....other than changing to a differently designed head ! Spitfires/RM Gators/Grim Reapers have no o-rings, Shackwaves have a groove in the ferrule and the o-ring remains flush and wind can not pass between the o-ring and ferrule ........just as some examples !!

If you were going to compensate........I wouldn't aim below a heart shot ......and I would keep my shots close (20 yrds or less ) !!

If your fletchings were the problem..........they'd be buzzing with field points and broadheads both !!

Good Luck !!!
