rifled arrow shafts
I was talking to a friend of mine about how a bullet shoots better coming out of a rifled barrel. It got me thinking would having a external rifling on the outside of the shaft help the arrow out ,hurt its trajectory, or not do anything to it ?Just wondering or do i have to much time on my hands to be thinking of wierd stuff ? Don't answer that .Would spiraling the broadhead help ?

yes from what little i do know about the technical side of bowhunting, i have read that spinning the arrow helps stablize the broadhead and better flight. this is why they make helical fletching and also those quick spin vanes. JMHO but i dont think the "rifling" on the shaft would help spin the arrow, idk if it would hurt it either tho.

I purchased some new "turbo nocks" from the the bohning people at the eastern sportsmans show in harrisburg last week, they are supposed to enhance the speed of the arrow alot, its basically another way to rifle the arrow. I think they are the T-4 style but not sure, i'll post some info when i get a chance to try them..

If your arrow was rifled and you used a whisker bisket rest where the riflings would actual contact the rest to make it spin it would work. But any other rest would not work the same. The bullet in a rifle contacts the riflings and that is how it spins.

if the arrow spins, it will stabilize the arrow, but it will also slow down ur arrows some.
