woodsmen broadheads

[Chub]

i got just the bare heads then bought the glue on screw in inserts i can throw a bowling straighter then i can get thes broadheads to spin

[Chub]

does anyone have any secrets how to true them up

[Strutter]

Put them on an arrow and reheat the heads til you can turn them.  When the glue is hot, spin the head on the adapter a few times and this will usually spread the glue out evenly enough to spin true.  You may also want to line the blades up with the leading edge of your feathers.  I think this gives better arrow flight.  If they do not spin true, reheat and try it again.  

Good Luck,
Rob

Easiest way is to buy a dixon spinner from Black Widow... Get's them right every time...

Man you just have to sit and work with them - I had the same trouble. I still cannot get them to stop hissing in flight but they do spin straight.

Just be carefull reheating them - you have to do it - but you do not want to change the color of the steel. Just a little heat will get it to a point you can turn it and spin some more.

Keep working with them - they are worth it.

A second for the Dixon BH aligner......it was some of the best money I spent.

Personally, these have been the worst heads to straighten for me. I have had much better luck getting Snuffers and Zwickeys to spin true. However, I truly like 3 blade heads and really want to use this head. ButI have to say, they are a pain to get straight. I probably won't buy more until they get better with the QC.

Are your inserts in the arrow square? you may want to check that before going crazy. After that I use slow cure epoxy and the dixon bh aliner with no problem. Also try different BH's in different arrows sometime that's all you need

I've had good luck with the 100gr steel adapters. I use 24 hour epoxy whick gives me time to work with them to spin true. Doesn't matter to me how they align with the feathers. Once the epoxy is set and i see it will spin true i file to a pyramid tip.

I have had good results with Hot melt and adapters  never had a problem just make sure to clean adapter and broadhead from all oil that may be on them from the factory and buy some good hot melt glue that is made for archery inserts  also make sure to heat the broadhead and the adapter I als line up the fletch with the blades stand upright to cool spin test if not perfect reheat turn 180 and cool again I hardly have to realighn after the first go especally with woodsmans Good luck

I tried the epoxy thing, I am sure it works great as so many use this method but I did it and still ended up with grooked heads. My fault not the method. But I have never had trouble with hot melt as I get many chances.

Dixon BHd aligner? will have to check that out.

J-dog,

 I have had the same trouble and just ended up using hot melt.  I have them mounted very straight, but they hiss in flight like crazy.  Any ideas?

[J-dog]

I do not know how to solve the hissing? you can coat them with vaseline, but I do not care to end up with vaseline all over my hands and bow and arrows?????

I am gonna get another pack and keep messing with them. to try to get them straight.

The 40 some critters I've killed with them could care less about any hissing........

[koger]

I use 2 ton epoxy, slow setting, just take your time putting together. Mine all flew great, right off the get go, most broadheads/arrows make some noise, but like Biggie said, the deer i have shot with them were more upset by the "THWACK" sound of impact than the slight buzz or hiss of an arrow.

[kadbow]

I thought the "new grind" was supposed to address some of the alignment issues????

[Barry Wensel]

Just wanted to mention I recently had a "bad batch" of screw-in adapters. The little sleeve just in front of the stem was squared off rather than tapered, making it next to impossible to align perfectly in a tapered ferrule. bw

[tradtusker]

hope they get them sorted.    
they are very good BH's killed a few animals in SA with them but it would be nice to have all the little problems sorted when bought so you don't have to spend so much time just getting them ready for the front of the arrow.

[wingnut]

I have used them for quite a few years now and couldn't be more pleased with a BH.  I use hotmelt to install the adapters (100gr) and they all came out perfect.

The do hiss a little in the air but I haven't had anything notice the hiss.  The movement of the bow is more a culprit in "jumping the string" especially here in TX.  They do kill em dead however.

Yeah they are a tough/deadly head, top notch.
