      I’m shooting a 46# and my arrows are about 635gr. with 28% foc. They fly quite well. dwc

        Great story. Man, you’re braver than I am. Even if I would have tried it, I wouldn’t have posted it. Hat’s off.

        I do carry an old Nalgene bottle for this purpose. I don’t recycle old bottles because I don’t want to take any chances of a leak in the pack. Yep, it’s clearly marked, too. dwc

          Welcome. I’m officially elderly this year and had my first 55+ breakfast special while traveling this weekend. This is my fourth season and I still have lots to learn. No traditional kills yet, but practice, practice…

          It’s a great time! dwc

                        With my limited experience, I have to agree with Duncan. I think it’s much more important to make sure the broadheads are centered, keeping the tip as closely aligned with the shaft as possible. It’s the same thing with bullet design. One of the main factors in target bullet design is how to keep the weight of the bullet consistent to the center of the bullet. Same reason round ball shooters put the sprue either exactly on top or exactly on the bottom, aligned with the bore in the barrel. Keep your wobbles to a minimum and your projectile will fly straighter. dwc

                                So far I’ve only mounted one. It has a bit of a wobble so I heated it a little and gave it a quarter turn and it straightened right out. I’m not going to worry too much about having the heads oriented the same on all the arrows. I’m just going to try to get them all as straight as I can. dwc
