Default muzzy tuning problems

Yup, your in trouble, if your bow is matched to your arrows and your bow is tuned it comes down to the arrows. It's not an issue of tuning them to the feathers as you put it. I assume you mean align the blades to the feathers and that is IRRELEVANT. Does not matter.

More importantly is to tune your inserts to the shaft ie, making sure they are aligned with no wobble. Spin check each arrow with a Muzzy installed. If there is wobble, that is an issue. If there are no wobble at all, then the tuning issue falls back to the bow.

Also, are your feathers helical or offset and not just straight?

Never had a problem with 4" vanes and broadheads. I will say however, that the muzzy's haven't flown as well as some other heads I've shot around with the past couple years.

Those Trykons were tough on the factory cables. Have your timing checked at a shop, shoot through paper etc. then try them again. Of course if you have other heads flying well, and the muzzy's don't cooperate, ditch 'em.

I shoot axis arrows with 5 inch feathers and muzzy 100 grain 3 blades , excelent flight , and hit with my field tips .

There are tons of variables that can make that not happen , if you list all your specs someone might be abil to point you in the right direction in solveing the puzzle .

Yea, that's what I was referring to. I had to have mine reserved afer a few days of shooting.Me, and some other guys had some stretching issues with them after exposing them to weater, such as rain, heat etc. A good set of aftermarket strings will minimize that issue.

Not sure if it holds water or not but a long time bow shooter at a pro shop who was known as someone who knows, told me when shooting 3 balde fixed broadheads to always shoot them with 2 blades up and one blade straight down. Like I said not sure how technically correctthis is but I have always done it and so far have never had a problem with any of my 3 blade fixed broadheadsflying erratic and I don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I shoot the STAxis arrows with 2" Blazers, and the Muzzy broadheads fly very well. Particularly the 75 grain original Muzzy. Maximum offset on the fletching jig.
