We have all been there, you have spent all summer fine tuning your bow with field points; the tiller is correct, there are no timing issues, your center shot is perfect and your don’t have any fletching issues, but as soon as you screw on your favorite broad heads all hell breaks loose. You have flyers, your arrows aren’t only hitting off center they are also inconsistent. Years ago we used to swap broadheads and arrows to find the combination that flew the most consistent. It used to be a real pain in the butt, sometimes out of a dozen arrows you might only have 6 that flew well with broadheads. The other 6 you just used with field tips.

If your bow is tuned correctly the biggest reason for erratic arrow flight is that the components of your arrow are not square. If either end of your arrow is not square your arrow will not fly true. You can do a spin test to see if there is any wobble in the broadhead.

I don't want to sound like a commerical but the ASD or Arrow Squaring Device from G5 really solves a lot of broadhead flight problems. It basically makes sure that both ends of your arrow is square. I embedded a video from G5 for those of you that are interested in learning a little bit more on the product.

Take Care.

"Front and Center" for Front of Center 

Many of you may have heard Anthony or Aneal talk about "Front of Center" or "Forward of Center" when talking in relation to building an arrow that is efficient in flight, and maximizes the trade offs between arrow stability and arrow flight distance.
