I have always used mech. heads, but now I want to use fixed blade. I have heard you have to tune your broadheads.........how do I do that?

I just had my bow tuned at the pro shop (laser & paper tuned), but i'm pretty sure there is more to it.

I like Slick Tricks, Nitrons, and Sonic heads. Any suggestions?

I love these G5 montecs. Great flight.

You just shoot shoot your field tips and and shoot your broadheads, and try to get them to hit the same POI.

If your BH hit lower than FT's, raise rest, if BH's hit to the left of Fields, move rest towards riser and if that doesn't work, raise poundage, etc.

In reality you don't tune your broadheads. You tune your bow to shoot the arrow with the broadheads on it. The tuning process is the same whether you shoot filed point, mechanicals, or fixed balde heads. The whole idea is to get the arrow flying as true out of the bow and downrange as possible.

Sometimes your bow/arrow combination isn't tuned to the utmost and mechanicals won't show it because there is much less blade surface to make the arrow wind plane. You can install fixedblade heads and the arrows just don't shoot well or plane off course. This is corrected by "broadhead Tuning".

A good source of information for tuning processes is Easton's Tuning Guide, a free download on their website.

More importantly, you need to tune your arrow. Arrow tuning involves spine testing, cutting to length from both ends, finding the stiff side for consistant fletching, bareshaft testing and broahead spinning.

The most important part may be before you start. Choosing an arrow that will properly carry a proportionately heavy tip is important for stability and forgiveness with broadheads. The higher the FOC you can obtain, the more forgiving your arrow will be.

In my opinion, picking just any arrow and slapping a 100 gr broadhead on it, does not cut it - literally.

couldn't of explained it better myself. This works well.

The G5 Montec is the best flyingfixed blade I've seen, and I've tried a lot. All I do is spin'em on an Apple Arrow Spin Tester to check for any wobble, then shoot'em a few times to be sure. Out of a dozen arrowsI can usually find at least7 that will shoot near perfect in comparison to my field points. As long as your bow is set up correctly, and you havethe right size carbons, you'll have lots of luck with these broadheads.

I have always spin tested my broadheads. If you are shooting an arrow with an aluminum insert than more times than not there will me more glue on one side than the other. I simply heat up the broadhead, which in return heats up the glue around the insert. Turn it 3 times (by doing that you are evenening out the glue around the insert so it does not seat improperly) and if the spin test still shows a circular pattern at the tip of the broadhead then you need to take your time and center the insert. But all the things mentioned above will will be first on your list.I have always had excellent results in broadhead flight once i spin test them. Irecently switched to the Easton FMJ and with their insert design i no longer have to do this. 1 out of 12 arrows showed a slight wobble.
