- First and foremost, your arrow must be spined properly for your bow weight. This can be easily done by checking the arrow charts to match your bows weight.
- To get your broadheads to shoot the same group as your field points we suggest the use of helical fletching, 4” fletching is acceptable, but 5” will stabilize your arrow in flight much faster and give you better overall flight. What most people don’t realize is that the faster your arrow stabilizes the more room you have for error on your part. In a nutshell, 5” helical fletching is much more forgiving, particularly when you make shooting errors such as hand-torque. In most situations, especially in a tree-stand, we need all the help we can get shooting in awkward positions.
- The recent development of the “drop away” arrow rest is probably the best thing to happen to fixed blade broadheads. Perfect arrow flight can now be achieved at high speeds using ultra light carbon arrows. We cannot endorse any individual manufacturer, but we have tried several different ones and they all seem to give the same flight characteristics. We do recommend that you look for a simplistic design without too many adjustments and be sure to take note if it has enough drop to fully clear your fletching.
