Great video thank you... what i have recently noticed is that a 2 inch vane with my broadheads is pretty spot on ,as opposed to a 4 inch vane and the arrow goes where it wants ... im not in any way saying it will happen for everyone but for me i had a tight grouping at 30 yards with field points with 4 inch vanes , put my broadheads on ... they werent even close nor were they consistant... same scenario with 2 inch vanes and PAPAS A HAPPY HUNTER!
Good info! There are just so many variables at play. Spine, fletching, arrow lengths, weight at the nock, weights at the tip...on and on. For me, part of the fun is figuring it all out.
Hey Chris thanks a bunch for the tip on helical fletchings. I couldn’t group my broadheads and field points but after watching this video and switching from 6 to 3 degree helical , bam!🎯 I came across your channel thinking I needed a different broadhead because if the broadhead flight problem. Watched what your fixed broadhead was about and it looks like a great broadhead, interested in the 180s and I would buy if I wasn’t already invested, but next season for sure.👍🏽 keep shelling out tips and your channel and brand will grow👍🏽
The bow could be tuned perfectly, but if the human isn't tuned properly arrow will plane. Very complex topic here. You definitely touched on half of the issue
I'm shooting a Barnett crossbow with 20" bolts it shoot great with the field points but when I put a broadhead one it about 8 to 10 inches low but that bolts that came with the bow shoots fine but the dont have a helix twist but the ones that can with the bow are straight what's my best bet? Maybe mechanicals I'm wanting to use NAP THUNDERHEADS
You shouldn't have to worry about a helical with your crossbow bolts. With a 20 inch bolt, you should be able to find a broadhead that shoots great. My advise would to first check all of your bolts by shooting each one into a different spot on your target to make sure all the bolts are flying the same. Then take the broadhead of your choice and shoot them to see how they fly. If your broadheads all fly consistently, then make the necessary adjustments to your scope so your broadheads are spot on. If you can't get the broadheads to group then you may have other issues such as cam timing. If you are still having problems after that, shoot me an email at ccreed@afflictorbroadheads.com and I will give you some other suggestions.
Not to rag on you guys or anything but I shot a doe at 20 yards in the shoulder blade with an EXT hybrid, I pull 65 lbs and the broadhead was freshly sharpened. The arrow literally bounced off the deer, had nothing but hair and skin on the tip of the head.
There is always fine tuning to be done. The topic relates to people blaming a fixed broadhead for poor arrow flight and saying the broadhead must be tuned to the arrow. The broadhead is rarely the main issue.
If you all haven't seen a documentary called... It's worse than you think.... By revelations of Jesus Christ ministries.... I suggest you do... All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ
I really appreciate the effort Afflictor is putting towards educating folks. Thanks Chris!!

Best heads made! Has never let me down!!
Thank you Luke!

Very true, there are so many factors to consider.
I have to be honest, I didn’t shoot fixed blades before because I didn’t want to “have to mess with them”

@@afflictorbroadheads6259 ok thank I'll give it a go I want to shoot the thunderheads but I might have to make a switch to somthing else
Good stuff, thanks 👍
I actually shoot a 4 inch feathered helical and never had a single problem!
Very Informative!

That's crazy, was it 100 gr? I am a fan of heavy broadheads. Are you positive it bounced off and didnt pass through high?
My k2 fixed blades fly great straight out of the pack
Mine did the same!
Check your form!
"might have to make some micro adjustments here and there''.
That's called tuning.
Title is clickbait.
