      Try turning your head slightly to the left for RH shooting.

        Dave:

        The Bodkin was first sold in 1946 and was made by MAke All Tool and Die, it looked just like the MA-3. In 1949 Whiffen decided to make the Bodkin head themselves and changed the design. Make All Tool and Die continued to make the head just renamed it

        MA-3. The MA-3 is far from being a “clunky” head. It can be shaving sharp in a minute, it will never fail, flies silent and true. A double bevel has preved itself for a long,long time. A single bevel is just another option, not a solution.

          Don’t worry about any loss in speed, it’s not enough to make any difference in shooting. Since you are able to shoot your wood arrows that is gain.

            Were the brace height and nock point the same? FF(low stretch) strings usually require stiffer arrow. speed-maybe 10fps.

            Upon release a bow string does not travel straight forward, it has a “S” path or oscillates. Brace height changes that path which affects spine and noise.

              OK. I think I see where you going now.

                So what is it that you are doing or going to do to the bow? From the first picture I would say you could use a shorter string to get the brace up to around 8″? Just because the bow has a bolt does not mean that the bow is meant to be taken down for transport etc.

                  You didn’t state what broadheads so the there is a variable there. Butr 2.5 fletch with a offset rather than helicial is not much to stabilize a broadhead. Wing of fletch should not matter.

                    Are you needing RH or LH?

                      There should not be any difference in flight between a parabolic and shield feather. Adding helical usually improves flight. You said both feathers are LW, is the helical clamp a LW? You are using a LW helical clamp and not just offsetting a straight clamp more?

                        Are the parabolic feathers left wing? Did you use a helical clamp or just put more offset on the feather?

                          If you are already using glue on heads just add 75 or 100 gr adapters.
