But,you do agree that all little imperfection become much more magnified at greater speeds,therefore,forgiveness has been compromised at greater speeds?
As for broadhead flight, accuracy comes in the setup, tuning and fletch. The quicker you get your arrow spinning out of your bow, the sooner and quicker it stabilizes in flight regardless of it's flight speed.

How many 320+ fps bows do you see at the indoor nationals or the Vegas shoot?

RE: Let's get real....
The answer Greg is NONE,but I am also thinking that a fixed blade broadhead becomes less forgiving in flight at greater speeds.A head that isn't perfectly aligned will be magnified at greater speeds.

I've been using Wasp SST hammers for the last 12 years because they are a tough, quality head and they spin test amazingly well. I only have to mess with about 1 out of 24.
Also, by limiting my speed to 275 fps, the 4 pins on my fixed pin sight (which I prefer) are not tightly packed together. The spacing is just right for seeing the target.

TFOX, I've been doing this for a pretty long time. I have always used fixed blade broad heads and have found that they group really well as long as I keep the speed around 275 fps. I took my old speed bow (321 fps) and added a heavier hunting arrow and got the speed down to 275 fps @ 64 lbs. XX78 2413 w/85 gr. BH. I believe the arrow weighs 445 gr, finished. They group beautifully.

I agree 100%
Rock,most my shots are under 30 yards ,just 1 over that.Bad broadhead flight at 30 yards can be drastic.

The more I read from a lot of you guys, the more I realize how much I am lacking in the whole shooting game. You guys have some knowledge! Thanks for the info gentlemen.

This is my line of thinking. Any little imperfection in form or aim will have a deteriorating effect on accuracy BEFORE the arrow leaves the bow. It is magnified with the "speed" bows.
