Broadhead alignment

<< < (2/3) > >>

adb:
Yah, like Pat B. said... don't worry how the blades line up, especially 3 blade heads, just get them spinning as true as possible. I usually spin them on a hard surface, because all the heads I use are cut on contact. Use ferr-l-tite, and just heat the head with a torch (with a small flame!), and keep turning it a bit at a time, until it spins true. Keep those broadheads sharp!! Touch them up often. Good hunting.

Chuck Jones:
thanks for the info I really appreciate it.  I was hoping I wouldnt have to buy some more stuff to get the job done.  Perhaps I can now get enough money together to get some staves shipped in.  I would really like to try a stave...chuck

   chuck,When I get home tomorrow,I'll take a picture of a simple little tool you can build to help with point alighnment.

Justin Snyder:
I put mine on parallel to the nock just because that is how I do it when I cut in a stone point.  I do it the same because I like to look down the arrow and have nothing unusual or different looking to distract me. Justin

Chuck Jones:
Mullet, thank you.  I have never tried this before it should be interesting.  I will try the other methods that have been listed too! 

Justin that does make sense to me.  I have the points now so I will do some expiermenting...thanks all.

I will put all my efforts into getting my commerical longbow ready to hurl some arrows.  I cant seem to make a self bow.  The last one was done and I drew it on the stick for the final weight and it broke on one tip.  The break started about mid limb.  I was so happy with this one.  It shot nicely.  I put about 40 arrows thru it and was excited to finish it off.  Oh well, either I cant do this or my wood selection was very poor.  Probably the latter.  Home depot has a crappy selection to choose from.  I have a couple of handle sections now....chuck
