broadheads
 

Is anyone else having trouble finding a fixed blade that fly's ok with carbon arrows????

RE: broadheads
 

Try Muzzys. I love them. I don't think the problem is the carbon arrows, it may be that you have to make adjustments to your bow when you switch from shooting your field points to shooting your broadheads!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!

RE: broadheads
 

i tried muzzys and thunderheads, neither fly well. There is no way to tune a carbon. i was thinking of trying the new nitron smaller head.

RE: broadheads
 

getnbit- Most of the time fixed blades do not fly just the same as field points! As long as your fixed blade heads all fly the same and hit the same just adjust your sights to the fixed blades! --There are ways to make your fixed heads to fly like your field points but it takes a lot of tweeking and adjusting[&:][:'(]

RE: broadheads
 

ill probably go back to Goldtips. That way i can still shoot field tips everyday as well. these are the best expandable heads on the market but i was just willing to try something different.

RE: broadheads
 

What do you mean can't tune with carbons? [&:] Go back to Gold Tips? Isn't that a carbon?[:o] Ever try a Slick Trick? Or hell, just slap a mechanical on it eh? Don't that fix all your problems?[>:]

RE: broadheads
 

yea , Goldtip broadheads are what i was refering to. They are mechanical! In order to effectively "tune" a fixed blade you have to be able to heat and move the insert, which you cant do with carbons.

RE: broadheads
 

Getnbit, I think you are confused on how to tune a broadhead. Go to Easton's web page and download the tuning guide. It has a section on broadheads that will help you.

RE: broadheads
 

Oh no I have been doing it wrong all these years:D.

I have never had to heat and move an insert.
By the sound of it when your arrows where cut they was not cut square.
before you glue the insert in try screwing your Broadhead into the insert and then pushing it into the shaft and then SPIN test.

You can move the insert around untill it spins true then mark both arrow and insert apply glue push insert in so the marks line up.

If you cant get them to spin true then most likely the cut is not square.

These?

Sale priced 3 for 8.95?[:o] I think you should read up on tuning. Bows and arrows.

RE: broadheads
 

nub- that's expensive for those things.

Getnbit- I have shot a few varmits with them cuz they were 6$ for 3. That is by far the WORST flying broadhead that I have ever put on the end of my arrow.

Also it is a big as almost every fixed blade head on the market. I would definately suggest as these guys have going to www.eastonarchery.com/downloads and getting the tuning guide. If followed properly it should allow you to shoot any broadhead successfully.
Good luck.

RE: broadheads
 

I agree with the spin the arrow bit and reading up on the Easton Archery web site on proper tuning of your set up.

I use Muzzy Broad heads and have great field point and broad head placment. I do have to be very strict on my form when I shoot my broad heads, but they group just as well as my field points without adjusting my sites. Granted, I shoot a hard right-hand helical which helps stablize the arrow and I shoot a Muzzy Drop away to avoid any fletching contact.

thanks for the sight info. I think im on to something, i found a compact fixed head be eastern outfitters that flys true with my field tips. T-I 2

RE: broadheads
 

My wasps, muzzys, montecs, and thunderheads all fly great on my Beman ICS hunters. But I do have it tuned to perfection. My buddy shoots his fine also. We shot them at 60 yards a couple days ago. :)

RE: broadheads
 

I also shoot ICS Beman hunters And they fly well with Montecs and Thunderheads! and with most likely with any other fixed blade head as long as your" BOW IS WELL TUNED AND YOUR ARROWS ARE TO ![&:] If your "Bow is not tuned properly nor your Arrows" that should be no reason to switch to a mech head![:'(]

RE: broadheads
 

I am shooting Stellforce Hellfires in 100 gr and they fly awesome. Haven't had any problems with them. I shoot CX terminators Select 6075's. and my bow is shooting 73lbs. The broadheads are hitting the same place as the field points.

RE: broadheads
 

Paper Tune your arrow with a bare shaft. That should make a difference. But it sounds like you'll have to do more than that.

My fixed blades cut the fletching off my field tip arrows. So it is possible to get them to fly good.
