Title: Zwickey Delta's.......they take a bit more patience
Post by: moleman on June 30, 2013, 02:01:00 PM
Zwickey Deltas.... they take a bit more patience for proper flight but well worth it.
Not being one for spine calculators and theory I set out to the range with a variety of shafts of different spine mounted with Deltas until I found the perfect combo, for my 69 lbs @ 28 longbow a 55 -60 spine lodge pole pine fitted with a 135 grain Delta was the ticket.
I generally shoot Hills but wanted something wider, I think the Deltas should fit the bill nicely.
Time proven, tough, and they fly great......but it takes just a bit of patience.   :campfire:

KME puts a nasty razor edge on all Zwickey single blade heads.

The Zwickey Delta has been a "tuning tool" of mine for years....If you think you have good arrow flight, mount a Delta to your arrow (shaft material doesn`t matter), and back up thirty or forty yards. If the arrow tracks true to the target without veering, then you have an arrow tuned to your bow.

A big, wide, two bladed head like a Zwickey Delta will tell no lies about arrow flight.

You aint kiddin Bonebuster, if you get a wide blade broadhead such as the Delta to fly true at those ranges, you have found the almost perfect, bow, arrow, fletch and broadhead combo.
