awshucks

I made a post awhile back about how you got to fiddle a little even w/ Slicks to get the alignment right. I had just got done using the loaner ASD Dnk has floating around the xbow forum members and what I neglected to tell ya'll is I launched one of my coveted wrapped hunting arrows and a brand new Slick into the ozone at 30 yds due to run out. Well, needless to say that really whizzed me off, so I got ahold of mybuddies defunct arrow straightener for alums and after I fixed the dial indicator, I moved it so I could run b-heads under it. My, My, did I get a lesson here! I had as much as .012" run out in some I thought were perfect. I got all 8 of my hunting arrows under .004 by fooling w/ washers and retightening them. Got some pics if anybody wants to play w/ their arrow straigtener, I had to redrill this one to get the ind. where it is.

awshucks

Here's another pic of the ind. up closer, I actually got 5 of the 8 under .002". If anyone knows how to put two pics in one post, I'd like to hear it, lol.

Can you explain run out.

Also, can we do that washer trick with any broadhead. I would think so. If anyone already knows the best washer size, please share!

awshucks

Runout = wobble when you spin the arrow. I think most replaceable blade b-heads come w/ washers. i doubt very much that you could go to a hdwe store and buy the right size, as these appear to be machined.

Randy, aka 10 pt can take an arrow between his palms and spin that sucker like a top for a loonnnggg time! While it's spinning you eyeball the head to see if there's any wobble. You don't need to go to the lengths I do on anything, lol, I'm anal retentive on stuff like this. If I can't get my rifles to one hole at 100 yds, they go to the next gun show and I fall in love w/ something else.
