Hello everyone.
I shoot fixed-blade broadheads out of my compound and recurve. However, I'm wondering if that's possible with the speeds of these newer crossbows.
I have a Ravin R10 and it's an absolute tack driver at longer ranges than I intend to take shots at hunting distances.
I've shot some Slick Trick broadheads out of it, but they seem to deviate from the field point of impact. This is not normal for either my compound or recurve, but we're talking about a HUGE (400 fps with the R10) difference in speed.
I'm thinking that I either need to build a heavier bolt with a high FOC or keep testing with other brands and styles of fixed blade broadheads until I find something that flies to the same P.O.I. as the field trips.
What fixed blade broadhead are you using?
Do they fly to the same point of impact as the field tips?
