Maybe you bought your bow and were "lucky" to have had it tuned just right by someone that really knew how to properly tune a bow. IMO...... tunning a bow so it shoots an arrow smoothly [accurately] is just as import as practicing shooting your bow. If a bow is not set up just right.....the arrow will be "wobbling" as it flies toward the target. You may not see it wobbling, but if the bow launches the arrow "crooked", it will not fly smoothly. I would paper tuned my bow, but the next year I had to make some adjustments again to get it back to shooting "builets" holes in the paper. So, years ago I starting reading up on bow tunning and found information on different ways to test a bow "tuning". Many of the articles that I read only covered some of the things to do. I had never considered checking or making adjustments for what they called the "till". My bow "till" was not correct and after making adjustments, the arrows flight was really much smoother. Craig..... As far as broadheads go, I got into bow hunting 27 years ago and there were a lot cheap broadheads on the market. I tried one of the first mechanicals that came out and it was an epic failure when I shot a deer with it. There are a bunch of very good mechanicals sold now. I have been shooting the 100 gr Thunderheads for 15 years and have not found a reason to change. I find the Thunderheads do about the same damage to a deer as my .243 cal rifle. If you would like some assistance in checking and adjusting your bow tunning, I would be glad to have you come over and see if we can improve your arrow flight. Just about anytime is good for me. |

NAP Thunderheads were included with my bow package, so I'll be rolling with those this fall. I need to get another set, because Hunter's Friend only sends three broadheads with the ready-to-shoot packages. I figure I need one for every arrow.
I wish I could remember the brand, but I was watching a show on the Outdoor Channel last weekend and whatever broadhead the guy was using was just wicked. He shot a doe and it didn't go more than twenty yards. As for fixed vs. mechanical, I vote for fixed. I know that the failure rate is low the the mechanical broadheads, but I'd hate to shoot a big buck and it be the one time that the broadhead fails. |

Nothing wrong with Muzzy or Thunderhead, have used them both with good results, but that being said the quickest kills I have ever made (watched all deer fall) were with mechanicals. I really like the mechanicals and will continue to use them.

To tune arrows you have to make the proper adjustments to your bow! I would never shoot a mechanical. There is a reason most western outfitters won't allow you to shoot mechanicals. They were invented so people didn't have to learn to tune their bow. I don't understand why anyone would allow an extra thing to possibly go wrong. You will have that with mechanicals. Not opening, opening on release, broken blades, freezing and not opening etc. etc. etc. Fixed blade in a tuned bow will always cut a big hole in the animal!

The perfect blade to me would be the Delta Snuffer 3 blade. That's bad & tough SOB. Could only get 5 or 6 to fly right out of a dozen & that was with a lot of tinkering. |

Widow says the only way to get an arrow to fly straight is to use the pink Crush fletchings! Tiffany is the man.
