Hi all,
It's that time of year again. I'm familiar with what to do during BH tuning in terms of rest movement, etc. I also ensure that (at a minimum) my bow is shooting bullet holes through paper. That said, I am wondering though what your process is for ensuring that every arrow in your quiver is good to go prior to hunting season.
Here's a list of questions:
1. Do you shoot each arrow that goes into your hunting quiver with a BH?
2. What's your process for building a hunting arrow? Do you index your vanes to the blades of the BH (say using an o ring) to ensure things line up? What's the maximum weight difference between hunting arrows that you are OK with (or do you even weight them)?
3. Do you "match" a broadhead to each arrow (say arrow 1 gets BH 1 and that combo gets shot/tested) or do you designate a "practice" head that gets moved from arrow to arrow?
4. What range do you shoot to? Is this a range where you can normally slap arrows together or do you shoot out to your maximum range? Reason I ask is because I tend to get into my head at my maximum range in terms of how close one arrow is to another. For example, at 60 recently I had my BH arrow and field point two inches apart (both off the dot a little) and my perfectionist came out and I started wondering why they weren't on top of one another inside the 3'' sticker I had placed on my BH target.
Thanks in advance. As usual, I'm probably overthinking everything.
