That’s a fair point and probably why the experts see no value in broadhead indexing— proper vanes might generate enough drag and lift to overwhelm the proportionally smaller amount of drag and lift generated by blades.
Anyway, is it September yet?
So, in my very much not-an-aeronautical-engineer mind, it wouldn’t really matter how the broadhead blades are indexed relative to the vanes on a particular arrow, but that the broadhead blades are in the same orientation to the vanes (and probably the spine, too) across all arrows in a batch...
Archery experts will unanimously tell you broadhead orientation to vanes does not matter for accuracy. I trust they know what they’re talking about, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that random orientation of fins (which broadheads are, in effect) on the front of the arrow...
Ha guilty, alligator arms here. Speed verified on a chrono at my local shop a couple of weeks ago. Only drawing about 27.5 inches.
Agree that practicing at long range makes those 50 yarders easier but saying you’ve got to be hitting 300fps and shooting animals at 90 yards to be successful out...
Man, I guess I’d better hang it up since I’m only getting 250fps with my arrows around 425 grains. Of course, Uncle Randy killed a bison drawing 60lbs and flinging 520 grainers, so maybe there is hope for us after all.
