FLIGHT TUNING BROADHEADS
Broadhead tuning will work for all styles of shooting. After you have completed one or
more of the tuning procedures described in this manual, you can proceed with this final test
to get your new bow ready to hunt. You will need three fletched arrows with field tips and
three with broadheads that weigh the same as your field tips.
Before you begin shooting, you will need to check your broadhead equipped
arrows. After installing your broadheads, make sure they are perfectly straight on the shaft.
This can be done by spinning the arrow on a flat counter while checking for any broadhead
wobble. You can also use a commercially made spin check tool that is available from your
dealer. After all of your broadheads are spin-checked and straight you are ready to begin.
Set up a broadhead target at twenty or thirty yards and shoot three arrows with field
tips. Make sure you are properly warmed up and you are shooting to the best of your abil-
ity. Next, shoot three identically aimed arrows with broadheads. WARNING: NEVER
SHOOT BARE SHAFTS WITH BROADHEADS ATTACHED. THE FLIGHT WILL BE
EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. Once you have shot the best
group you can shoot, compare the position of the broadhead group to the field tip group.
Compare the groups to the diagram below and make very small incremental adjustments as
described next to the broadhead group that corresponds to your arrow pattern. Note: make
very small 1/32" adjustments. A small adjustment will greatly change your broadhead
flight.
