Excellent!

Well the bowhunting gods are smiling on me:
My wife is working tomorrow.
My mother is taking the kids overnight and all day tomorrow.
It's not gonna rain tomorrow.

SOOOOO, I'll be hanging stands like a madman and scouting out a new property I got permission to hunt this year (complete with squash fields turned over and seeded with rye just in time to have nice tender shoots in mid November!!)

Broadheads? In the Trembow quiver will be:
3 Muzzy Phantom 100 4 blades
2 NAP Thunderhead 100s (cuz I can't fit 5 Phantoms in my quiver)
and maybe sometimes
1 Free Sonic 100 for varmints or a finishing shot in case I spine a deer.

hello everyone, on which broadhead question, i have a little problem,,,I've bought and sited in some Montec G5 100 gr. I like them alot ,,they are alittle noisey but at 270fps hope it doe'nt matter.The problem is I just found out there illegal in my state of oklahoma, broad heads must be 1.5 inches,,,,I called the game warden he said he was'nt going too whip out a tape measure but it was still the law. He did say,that thelawneeded to be addressed so I guess to be a law abiding citizen I'll will break-out some 3 blade muzzy's ( what do you guy's think I should do?????)

Okie,
Your on your own on that one buddie. I'm having my own problems I just shot my broadheads and there hitting los to the left. I guess I'll have to go to the Archery shop and have my bow lazered. Pain in the butt I have to go to Fall River (25-30 miles away) just to have it checked. Ya know I wish someone would give a course at one of the schools on bow tuning. I bet that class would be full every semister.

Okie, Montecs are fine here. The regulations state "Broadhead: Hunting type points not less than 7/8 inches wide (cutting diameter) and not less than 1 1/2 inches long (tip to the back of the threads on the ferrule)." No worries on those, screw 'em on and kill us a big one.

Mike,
Lazering may or may not do it for ya, but if you're going to Trader Jan's, I'm sure she'll get you shooting those heads just fine.

I've been working on my broadhead flight for the last month or so and I've got them grouping well enough out to 40 yards now I'm just going to adjust my pins to get them within an inch or two of dead center.

Mike Hill

Well I don't know if I got the greatest advice in the world but they told me to leave it alone my broadheads are grouping good and I shoulden't play with my mess as I could frig it up. I don't want to do that at this time of the game so I guess thats what I'll do. I just feel like I'm loosing some k-energy. But I guess pulling 70 lbs and hitting where I want will do the trick. I just don't like shooting my field pionts and hitting high and right on purpos.

Mike, I agree& disagree with what they recommended.

You can mark everything where it is at (.5mm pencil)and then try some moves, if things don't get better you can always put them back where they were before you started.
Have you tried the easton archery guide or 5 shots broadhead tuning link?

Going off of memory I'd say you need to move your rest up a small portion at a time and once the BH & FP come together you would then move the rest in to the right a smidgen at a time until the FP's & BH's come together. You will in the end need to move your sights to match your new point of impact at a given yardage.
THIS IS considering your arrows are spined right for your bow & you are a right handed shooter.

I like having my broadheads & fieldtips hitting true so I can switch heads back and forth between mechanicals & fixed blades.

Man a 1.5" fixed blade was going to be a booger to pull off. I don't know of many(any?) that cut that wide as afixed blade. i think one of the crimson talons might. Good thing Dwd got that straightened out.

Mike Hill

I don't know whats going on with my mess now I went out to shoot it and the field points are hitting fine ( grouping all in a 1 in circle) shot the broad heads again which I resighted in for and they are hitting even lower then before and to the right. I going to the bow shop tommorow for sure. Wish me luck. I might have to go back to last years bow.
