Re: Tuning broadhead help?
I tuned for Broad heads on Sunday at the Bowmen. I'm just shooting a package Pse Brute 70 lb (Chrono's at 280 fps) with a ripcord rest and a Cobra boomslang 5 pin sight. My arrows are Beman bowhunters 400 spine with 100 grain Fx-3 broad heads (3 blade) they look like Muzzy's or Thunderheads but way cheaper. When i set up my broad heads I used teflon tape to index my fletches, it worked well for me the tape acts as a washer but also locks the thread enough that it doesn't loosen in flight but still makes for easy broad head removal for the off season. After using the tape to index I give them a spin, if they spin true they should fly true. If they don't you may need to do some tweaking or filing of inserts or spacers. I used an arrow that wasn't indexed perfectly and a broad head with dented blade at the club for my walk back tuning. Out to 50 yards my broad heads hit within 2 inches of my field points, so I have no complaints. I think the keys are to make sure your center shot and rest timing are set up properly, and broad head indexing can't hurt.
