    2" or 4" Vanes

    Any extra speed you get froma 2" vane would be so unnoticeable, that it would not off set the advantage from the stability of the 4" vane for braodheads. I would even say make sure you have a good helical to the 4". For what it is worth to you, I shoot an ACC with a four fletch, Flex Fletch vane, with a hard helical on it. Anything that can help stabilize a bradhead is worth it.

    help tuning bow

    Ok first get a beer, then read this over and over until it makes sence. Hopefully you can do most of the set up on your bow, if not go to a pro shop and have them show you how to do it. And if you shoot a wisker bisquet throw it away, and get a driop away rest like the trophy taker. You will never get good arrow flight with a braodhead shooting through a broom. 1. Make sure you have the right arrow for your bow, the correct spine. Most carbons fly better with broadheads if the spin is alittle stiff. If you have any questions if it is right or not check with a pro shop. 2. Set your tiller even for the top and the bottom, and reset your nock point for what ever it is that gets you a bullet hole. If you are shooting a single cam you need to run a string from the axle to axle. Then use the string for your measurements to set the tiller. 3. Shoot through paper until you get a bullet hole. If your nock points is set correctly, nock high or nock low while shooting through paper then leave it alone. The center shot ( having your rest set even for left to right ) should be done by someone who knows what they are doing. It would confuse you to read it then try to do it. Better to have someone show you how to do it. It is realy simple to do. 4. Now that the bow is set up initially, you are ready to check your arrows. Your bradheads should be set onto your arrows so that when you put the tip of your broadhead on your finger and spin it you should not feel any wooble. It should be as smooth as glass. If not, try another arrow. If none of them do it you need to replace the inserts, or have the very tips of the arows cut again so that the straight. Then put new inserts in and broadheads in a spin. 5. Have a beer. 6. Time to shoot the bow. Start out at 20 yds. Shoot the broadheads first, then field points second so that the arrows dont get damaged by the broadheads. Shoot three broad heads. Then shoot three field points. Now we will look at the grouping. If the broadheads group higher than the fieldpoints lower your rest (just a small amount), or raise your nock point until they hit the same spot as your field points. If the broadheads fly lower, then raise your rest, or lower your nock point. Now for the left to right. This is where have your center shoot set up right comes into play. If your braodheads group to the right of your fieldpoints turn your bow weight down 1/8 of a turn until they hit the same spot as your field points. If they fly to the left turn the weight up. Now for some wierd reason this is revered sometimes. I have no idea why, but if they fly further apart, try doing the oppostie. This whole process sets the bow up so that your bow and arrow are set up for each other. 7. Once you get this at 20 yds, move back in 10 yds at a time and repeat the process. Any adjustments you make will make it better at the previous yardage. Do this for as far as you feel comfortable. Let me know how this works for you, and I can help you out if you run into snags.
  3. I have been going to a spot out side of Globe AZ every other year for about eight years now, I live in Sacramento CA so it makes scouting trips kind of hard. The area I see the Coues are up high in the mountains, and usually in the drainages. I usually stumble upon them, and it makes it hard to put them to bed so that I can try to get an arrow in them. O ya by the way I still have not arrowed a Coues yet. So the question I have is one, is my method of trying to spot them up high and put them to bed a bad idea? Two, should I be looking for a better area than in drainages. Three is there a better area or ounit I should looking into, and no I am not trying to steal someones spot. Basically I am admitting I don't know a lot about Coues, and I am asking any and all Coues Masters for help. Thanks.
