TAKE YOUR ARROWS FOR A SPIN

Regardless of what type of arrow, vane and broadhead combination you use realize each individual arrow should be spin tested with a broadhead attached before it ever is used for hunting. Many companies such as Pine RIdge Archery make a arrow spinner that will tell you if your arrow is spinning true or wobbling slightly.

Many hunters believe if they are shooting expandable broadheads their arrows don’t need to be tuned or tested on a spinner. The way the ferrule of the broadhead sits inside the arrow insert is often what causes a broadhead to not be properly aligned and spin erractically. Each time a broadhead is screwed onto an arrow is should be spin tested because each time a broadhead gets screwed into the insert of an arrow it will seat slightly different. Many times all it takes is a little fine tuning such as wiggling the ferule of the broadhead around as you screw it in and the arrow will spin true. Always spin test your arrows to ensure your arrows will hit the mark every time.

Lastly if you are on a tight budget and cant afford super expensive arrows that are extremely straight try cutting a little off each end of your shaft instead of just at one end when building arrows. According to Tim Gillingham of Gold Tip Arrows an arrows tollerences are often worse on the ends. By cutting the shaft at both ends you end up with a better arrow.
