Fixed blade Broadhead tuning question
Fletching is added to arrows to counterbalance the steering effect broadheads have on an arrow. The heavier the point, the weaker the effective spine will be.
A heavier weight forward will cause the arrow to act less stiff.
Alignment issues are as follows:
a. arrows must be cut perpendicular (i.e. square) to the length of the shaft.
b. the insert must fit properly and must also have its end perpendicular (i.e. square) to the length of the shaft.
c. the ferrule must join correctly with the insert.
If any one of these conditions is not met, then broadheads may steer an arrow in a direction other than one in which they are aimed.
Point straightness is the most critical element in broad head tuning.
