Ive noticed shooting 3 blade broadheads seems to mess with my peripheal visin as i shoot, i know its phsycological because i can shoot 2 blade just fine if i line the blades up and down. Does anyone have any fixes for this problem, because i do want to shoot these snuffers. If i doesnt work out i will have to sharpen the old bear 2 blades, suggestions please, deer season is 2 weeks away

If you're right handed, align one blade so it's at about 1 o'clock.  Doing so with almost eliminate the head from your view.  If left handed one blade would be at 11 o'clock.

I put one blade at 6:00 this put the other two at about 10 and 2 and makes a V and alines my eye to the center of the arrow, works for me.

I would try mounting them both ways that have been mentioned above and see what works best for you. I have never had this problem but I would bet one of those solutions will help you.

I used to have this problem until I shortened my arrows.  I used to hunt with full length shafts, but now I buy my shafts so I can cut them as short as possible and still tune them.

I like one blade straight down and the other two like a Y at the top. I used rubber "O" rings to accomplish this. I would be a four blade shooter except for the fact that 3 blades are SO EASY to get to razor sharpen and they leave blood trails every bit as good as four blades. I think if you take 2 of them strictly for practice you can get by the visual distraction. Focus on what you want to hit, not what you want to hit it with.

My brain has limited RAM so I practice with BHs, therefore the sight picture does Not have something NEW in it for your brain to process when that buck finally steps out.

I am with pops and Nightwing.  It v's it up and makes like a rear sight almost, forcing it to center on the intended spot.  I don't check it, unless at 40 yards or over, but I figured it out after wondering why my broadheads were always going to the inteded target with remarkable accuracy from longer ranges of 40 and above.  My Brain had already figured it out, so once I paid attention, I saw why.

However, at all ranges it definately keeps the windage in line because it offers your brain a secondary confirmation all is well.  I really don't know how to explain it any better than that as it is all subliminal, but it has tightened my broadhead groups to the point I can't shoot groups anymore without tearing something up everytime.  BTW, I shoot a Snuffer too.  God Bless

shorten the arrows, seriously it will always mess with you so either practice daily with broadheaded arrows (which you should do if you hunt anyway) or shorten them right to the BOP if you have too and eliminate the picture completely

Iam not saying you have bad fourm but when I am looking at my target that is all I see.I guess it depends on how you shoot.there was a post on here a month or so ago an it said shoot the bow not the arrow.good luck I hope you get it worked out.

Quit looking at the broadhead and concentrate on the spot.

Doesn't mess with mine at all.  I can look past them, at my target.

I shoot all broadheads with the top blade vertical so I can shoot three, four or two blades with the same sighting.

I have no concept of where my broadheads are lining up when I am at full draw.

I go through my arrows and heads til I match them all up to a 1 o'clock - 8 o'clock position.

I have no idea why. I never notice them but it makes me feel better.

When I shoot deltas with bleeders I put one of the main blades at 1 o'clock also.
