 What do I need to consider when tuning SilverFlame broadheads?

There are only a few topics regarding the equipment of bowhunters which have been discussed and published more than the topic of broadhead tuning.

Numerous producers of broadheads, arrow shafts, arrow rests, etc. and bowhunters of every experience level have discussed this topic at length and can offer a solution for almost every tuning problem. In my opinion, everything has been said, so I don't want to repeat anything. For readers interested in this topic I recommend visiting the websites of the producers or magazines.

I frequently hear and read:

"The broadhead X flies badly, but broadhead Y has excellent flying characteristics", etc.

Many bow hunters try to put a huge flight on their broadheads to enforce passable flight characteristics.

Well, this is one option, but it only treats a symptom, not the cause, and I would like to conclude this topic with this:

"A broadhead almost never flies well or badly, it simply reveals the tuning mistakes of the archer!"

This means that it is necessary that the dynamic spine of the arrow shaft matches exactly the energy release of the bow, so that the arrow can fly perfectly. This way you won't have problems bringing your bladed broadheads to their destination.

Twobladers like the SilverFlame broadhead usually cause little problems and forgive some improper adjustments.

During independent tests, the SilverFlame broadheads have been tested by compound hunters, recurve hunters and longbow hunters and ALL of them hit the same target spot with this broadhead compared to field points of the same weight.

Caution:

Please make sure that your broadhead is fitted properly. It should always align perfectly with the arrow shaft and not "wobble" when the arrow is spun on its tip on a table top.

All SilverFlame broadheads go through an individual spinning test.

If your arrow still wobbles, the insert might not be right angled, the arrow shaft might be shortened improperly, or it might be crooked.
