Broad head trueness

Hi all, Ive recently purchased some "cheap" broad heads from a local supplier but when the head is fitted to the bolt and rotated in V blocks the tip of the broad heads do not turn true, they crank up to 2-3 mm. They sent me the below instructions with them, I've never heard of having to d...

Re: Grouping issue

Thanks all for your ideas, a one arrow cock vane test will be a definite trial and just a lot of practice this weekend if time and weather allows.

Re: Grouping issue

Do you have a helical on your vanes or are they straight or straight offset? Yup, the 18" Diablow arrows are the ones that came with the bow, helical fletched I would call them. The 20" Horton Carbon MX are about 6 years old, also helical fletched. I use them on my Vixen. I am very keen o...

Re: Grouping issue

First make sure your bow is rock solid (as are you) and bow isn't resting on something hard that would cause deflection from recoil...which becomes more apparent at increased distances. Thanks for that, I'm laying in prone position using a Harris series S, Model L bipod for sighting in, holding as ...

Re: Hawke XB1 speed ring calibration

If I end up not liking the Optimizer speed dial or damage it I can remove it and continue to sight in the Nikon with its BDC 60 Reticle system. I don't like cluttered scope...
