You got that right!

Now....about spinning your blades......I think that's still a wives tale.

Jeff....You can't simply tune A bow or AN arrow. They're a team.

Glad you got yours flying well, though.

Good points man.

To some extent, I agree Jeff, I think that is you can get an arrow to spin true, it WILL usually shoot well out of a TUNED bow if the spine is right. But I know some guys that will swear that getting the BH's aligned with the old aluminums DID make a difference that was noticeable.


Hoyt,
Muzzy's are notorious for inconsistencies, be it in the user or the BH, I've seen them with ferules that weren't straight right from the package, therefore, I won't shoot them again. As for BH alignment with fletching, I shoot Slick Trick's which are 4 blade, and they fly BETTER than any other BH I've ever shot, an I honestly feel as confident shooting an arrow with a ST as I do one with a FP because they fly that well once the bow is tuned.

It is absolutely crucial to have the correct arrow spine before broadhead tuning can be succesful.

I know someone that tunes arrows out of a hootershooter and he gets up to 10 bucks a piece for this.


No tutorial I could ever come up with would ever cover it better than Easton's tuning guide.I have said it before and I say it again.All serious bowhunters need this guide.

Good post TFOX!

When I picked up my guide the shop owner looked at me and kinda laughed and said don't you already know everything in there.I said something to the effect that we can always learn something new.

I refer to mine several times a year.Mostly as a second opinion or just to make sure I am correct in my thinking.

one of the best statements i have heard Fox.

ill be one of the ones to admit that i DO NOT know enough about tuning. but i am slowly learning from some of the best. right here in these threads.

Yes sir, and I have before. But for me it was easier to set up each bow for a specific purpose. I have one bow that will work for a back up 3D or hunting with some minor adjusting.

Most of my arrows are 400 spine except for the hunting arrows are 340 spine because I am so heavy in front with 220 grains I'm at 21% FOC at total arrow weight of 543. I do keep two aluminum arrow in my hunting quiver that are over 600 grains, I keep them for ear shots on pigs under 20 yards.

with as this talk about fixed heads,we must also not overlook the proper flechting to control that fixed bh.In my opinion a helical flecth must be used to get proper flight from an arrow tipped with a fixed bh.The size of the flechting needs to be adequite also.

Just bumbing the thread, because it's good info. I shoot a 511 grain arrow, and a 400 grain arrow, off the same bow. Know you're equipment fellas.
