Windplaning....which broadheads?
Been noticing in the 3Rivers catalog many of the broadheads are listed as "does not wind plane". Have any of you guys experienced wind planing, and if so, which broadheads?
Seems like most of the ones they say don't windplane are ventilated or skeletonized designs...but these are the same ones other folks warn about as being 'noisy'. I'll be doing my own experimenting on the Zwickey Eskimos I ordered and will report on those shortly......

Re: Windplaning....which broadheads?
Does anyone turn their broadheads a certain way in relation to the feathers to avoid wind planning?

When my arrows are on the string, my broadheads are horizontal or what you would call flat CD.

Re: Windplaning....which broadheads?
I've always heard the broadheads should be vertical, but for anti-plane, your idea makes more sense, HF.
Oh, and speaking of broadheads....

On s trad bow where the arrow bends to the side around the riser I also make all mine flat.

The famos old old timers had the two blade horizontal , more forgiving that way .

"In theory" it shouldn't matter as the arrow (hopefully?) begins rotating once it clears the riser....graps wrote:The famos old old timers had the two blade horizontal , more forgiving that way .
