Two different broadheads, out to 60.

First picture is the phatheads, unfortunately I couldn't get them to do this every time.

Second group is two slick tricks, two field tips, at 60 as well.... wish my rifle was shooting this week and confidence as high with it.

Three weeks away, can't wait!

That should do - I robinhooded one of my broadhead arrows with another broadhead at 40 yards the other day - no more grouping at 40 yards, even 3 arrow groups.

Yea, it's a little bit cool the first time , after that you just think about the $15 it just cost you.

First group with the slick tricks I cut an arrow in half.... sucks because I've gone through about 4 arrows in the past 10 days or so!

Don't think I'll be doing any grouping with my broadheads this year. Running the 125 Ramcat. 1.5" cut 3 blade fixed. Arrows cost too much to tear up

I only shot groups at 60 with the BH's... Me, not being a great archery shot that would be fine... First group, split an arrow in half.

That wasn't the first time.......I thought at 40 yards I should be ok, nope.

I like the one with no nock, they are a bitch to get on the string though.

Funny. No sign of any glue ever being on the end of that aluminum shaft. No carnage from blades hitting the other arrows. If I group broadheads like that, stuff gonna get destroyed.

Going nockless increases FOC and penetration.

Ah...learn something new every day

True, shot it off. I use Fletchtite, lower, left arrow that did the deed can't be seen. I have cut many vanes off when tuning. But a story from target shooting. I shot many shoots without glued nocks. Just a twist and did have to pick up many from the ground from arrows banging together. Just twist back on. I also had fun putting arrows on the bow with the cock feather or vane in. Guys would holler at me and I said "so what" doesn't touch if tuned right.
Had a few bows with grips I never could hold the same so I carried a tube of Cocoa butter, greased my hand at every target so the handle could only be held one way as it slid in.
Have to step back 50 to 60 years.
Never knew what a release was except for the leather flap used by distance shooters.
When I started a release I found the Tru-Ball best, seen some throw a string off and ruin accuracy.
