RE: Broadhead Help!
ORIGINAL: HuntingEd Sounds good WV. I have 0 experience in tuning a bow, always thought it was difficult. Just boughtmyVTECa week ago, so i would hope its well tuned, as far as i can tell im getting good groups w/ clean arrow flight (any arrow movement has been a jerk or flinch on my part). I want to learn how to tune it, any good tips, websites, or guidelines for making my bow as accurately tuned as possible? Learning to tune a bow is not that tough, but it does take some time. This site and the folks here have a wealth of information. Also, there are many good books and videos availble, plus I would recommmend going to easton's website and downloading the tuning guide. This will help alot. http://www.eastonarchery.com/downloads/ Agian, it's not real difficult, but I wouldn't expect you to learn it very quick...there is alot of information, and with todays high tech bows, many tricks to get them where you want them. Again, IMO the best thing you could do at this pointwould be to find areputable pro, that knows what he's doing. Maybe you have an archery club in your area, or possibly have a freind that may be able to help you. Where do you live? Post that, and probably someone on here can steer you in the right direction. Good luck :D |

Hunting Ed,
Nice website BTW I'm glad you decided to stick with the fixed blade BH's. Don't be intimidated by tuning your own bow, get help and tackle it. I just returned from a hog hunt and before I went, I was determined to tune my bow myself. My problem was I refused to use mechanical heads, but fixed blade BH's would not group with my fieldpoints. I thought that the problem was the fixed blades. Many on here, (many of them have answered you) told me that if I got my bow tuned properly, that the fixed blades would group with the field points. Well, believe them, and me, they will. I finally just tackled the problem and learned to tune it myself. I'll admit that it was very frustrating at times, but well worth it in the end!! My bow shoots every head now that I have tried, grouping any fixed blade with my field points. I am using the 90 grain Muzzy 4 blade and HIGHLY recommend them!! BTW- some told me that you had to shoot quartering away on a boar because of the "gristle plates" on their shoulders. At 18 yards, the arrow made a complete pass-through through the shoulders. After skinning the pig, those gristle plates were 1 and 3/4" thick each. VERY tough to cut through with a good knife to get off of the hide, but those Muzzys went through them both without breaking or bending! Good luck, Kev |
