Default Broadhead dia.?

Something I never noticed before. I bought a new pack of target points today and on the back of the package there was a picture showing how its ok for the point to be slightly smaller or the same size as the arrow shaft. But one picture showed "not ok" if the point diameter was larger.

So just for curiosity I put on a broadhead and noticed that it was larger than my arrow shaft. Is this ok with broadheads? I use CX 200 arrows and Wasp 3 blade broadheads normally.

Thanks

Think of the entry hole a broadhead makes. If the furrel is larger than the shaft it doesn't matter because the blades already opened up a larger hole. With a field point, if the point is larger than the shaft you're going to have a real hard time removing that arrow from a target.

So it has no bearing on arrow flight? Thats really all I was concerned about.

no, it won't affect the flight. if the point is larger, you might have some issues pulling the arrows froma bag target, that's about it.
