Default hunting arrows

i bought arrows to practice with over the summer and my hunting arrows, i have my broadheads with practice blades on the hunting arrows, i went to shoot em just to see how they would shoot, and a couple of them dont shoot the same as other ones, is there something i can do for this or no.

I would first number my hunting arrows so you can see which ones don't shoot the same. If they are quality arrows to start with, I would spin test them with the BH's screwed in. Could also compare how a certain arrow shoots with field points as compared to BH's. Try to sort out if the reason the arrow doesn't shoot the same is the head or the arrow itself.

Overall, though, I use the same arrows for practice as for hunting. Helps in getting the pin spacing set. And I would rather have 6 quality arrows than a whole locker full of Wal Mart specials. Don't skimp on arrow quality.

Gold Tips are usually good arrows. I would try to determine if the broadheads are the problem. Make sure all the arrows shoot well with same weight field points first.Then find one arrow that shoots well with a broadhead; andtry that same broadhead on several other arrows. Sort of an "isolate the variables" process . . . . . . .

Have you tried a different broadhead? Those original muzzies can at times be a "challenge" to get flying straight. If you want to stick with muzzies, may I suggest getting the MX-3's.

After marking to find out wich arrows are giving you problems, try putting a o ring in between and turning the broad head, I know it might sound silly but I have seen certain brandarrows are sensitive to that @ longer distance shots.
Gold Tips are good arrows and should serve ya well.
