Hello,
I have struggled time and time again with fixed broadheads and can't find what is causing my issue. I have been resulting back to 125 grain Swackers the week before September in frustration as they fly true to my field points out to at least 80 yards. I have harvested three bulls with them and wounded another, not once had a pass through, and every bull I have found the blades not open and twice even the bands not even broken. After putting an arrow into at least one lung of once in a lifetime bull last year and tracking him for miles without finding him, I would love to swap to a fixed blade broadhead.
My inquiry today is my arrow set-up with that overall goal in mind.
-I currently shoot a Bowtech MagX at 71# and a 33 inch draw on it's performance setting.
-I have been using 250 spine Kinetic Pierce Platinum's uncut with a 125 grain point, the factory inserts, and Q2i Fusion X-II 3" vanes at a 3° helical
I know my cams have no lean and my paper tune looks beautiful. I am really happy with how my bow and arrows perform with the field points and swackers up to 100 yards. But every time I swap to a fixed blade I can't seem to dial it in, the further I shoot the more off the arrow hits, while I can sight it in at say 30 yards, it wont hit where I want at 20 or 40. I have tried my old gold tip hunter pro arrows and my newer kinetic pierce arrows with combinations of G5 montec 3 blade, slick trick magnums, and several different style of muzzys. I usually try to match the arrows with the broadhead that will give me a great balanced spin on my finger as my inserts are already set.
I'm down to 5 of my kinetic pierce and looking to get some new arrows to last the year going to 3D shoots as well as hunting this September.
I would just like some input on what to try, what I might need to do with options on the vanes, inserts, weights, wraps, FOC... etc. I've never really put the time into experimenting with different arrow set-ups and usually just rock with what I've got and make the best of it. Looking at an opportunity here to give me the most consistent and reliable shot I can get if I'm needing new arrows. Also, arrows with the length I need due to my draw are limited, even uncut alot won't make the cut at 33"
Thanks
