Question for you guys that the search bar hasn’t quite addressed: how much will wind affect fixed blade broadhead flight? Specifically, a 15 MPH direct crosswind at 40 yds? This afternoon I had a chance to screw on my first BHs to see if my setup is tuned to hit with field points. I’m 29” DL, shooting Victory RIP TKOs at 495g TAW, 15.5% FOC, and a three vane right helical AAE Max stealth at 70lbs. BH is 125g IW solid. Shot about 5 groups with the BH and field tips together before the range closed. The lone BH arrow would consistently hit about 6 inches downwind of field points. I also swapped the BH out to a different arrow halfway through to rule out a rogue arrow.
Of course, I’d love to be able to shoot on a windless day, but they’ve been tough to come by lately. Do you guys think I can chalk the different up to the wind, or a tuning issue? Most of the shots felt and looked good coming off the bow this afternoon. Purpose of the question is to gather info on wind effect on fixed blades vs field tips, not so much speculation on what might be off with my setup. Thanks!
