spin testing arrows
 

i need a way to check if there is any wobble with my broadheads, but i don't have a spin tester. any other way to do it fairly accurate? what exactly am i looking for? is it the insert that will make it wobble or the B.H.? thanks for the help.

Any way you can get the arrows spinning you should be able to check for wobble. The spin testers are great because they leave the arrow stationary.

Yes, it is usually the insert that is misaligned however double check broadheads for bends as well. (if used).

Hold your hand out palm side up and spin the arrow and broadhead on theend of your middle finger. You can really tell if there is any wobble at all.
good luck

I stand them on the point and spin 'em. If they wobble, you'll see it.

What Mobo said.

take a magnet hang it with nail or some thing hang arrow by the point spin if falls don't try to catch it it hurts but you will see if it has wobble

If you're at all handy at woodworking, just make a double V block and set the V's about the same distance apart as a typical spinner. Just rotate the arrow in the V's and watch the point the same way you would in a spinner. I've done it that way for years and it works fine.

Just take a shoe or cardboard box and cut a V in it. Spin the arrow and watch the tip of the broad head.

What an ingenious and simple idea!! Man, you gotta love good ole American enginuity! Thanks for that tip.

I just bought one and im glad I did. One of my arrows was bent. I won't be using that this season.

Just the first step in creating my own archery shop...
Gonna be a long time coming.

You could always build one for about $2. Cabinet rollers and pine:

I have a friend watch me shoot. It won't catch really minor wobble, but I think it catches anything significant.

OUCH!!!

We all spend hundreds of dollars on the best, fastest bows. Tons of time practicing shooting, stand hanging, etc. and then you want to skimp on the most vital piece of gear between a dead deer, missed deer or worse a wounded deer.

Don't be cheap about it, buy a spin tester. I bought one years ago for less than $30 and I have not needed another one. Once in a lifetime purchase if it is a good one.

Here is where I got mine:

I would think twice about the broadhead in the hand trick. You might get a nice liability policy before you reccomend something like that MOBO.

I spin mine on a table if its a cut on contact. If not, spin it in your palm. Just spin it, you dont need any fancy smacy device.;)
