if the bow is tuned then the broadhead should be tuned regardless of fletching.

Used slick trick mags 100g to good effect for years, also found the QAD Exodus 100g heads to do very well out to 40 as well.

I used to be hardcore fixed broadhead after having some bad mechanical experiences years ago... But in the past couple years, i've been converted to mechanical after trying 125gr Swhackers. They fly almost identical to fields, deploy every time and pound through bone. I've been so impressed with them, i had to chime in!

Everyone on here should be spin testing their broad head arrows. Build an arrow spinner out of 2x4, 4 glass marbles and a hot glue gun. Any broadhead should be tuneable to fly properly. No broadhead should be shot before it’s checked for runout. I thought this was basic bow hunting 101.

Not really imo. The only way to tune a broadhead is to get it spinning on point. Anything with runout is out of tune. Super important to your broadhead flight that your bow is paper tuned, but the bow and the arrows both need to be tuned.

A fixed broadhead amplifies any small issues the equipment and/or the shooter may have.
As such, for a good & consistent flight, a couple of things are needed:
The arrows must have proper spine, square ends, spin checked, etc....
Bow must be in spec to start with i.e.: proper a.t.a. length, brace length, draw weight & length, cams synchronized/timed/lean adjusted, nocking point & rest set properly, etc…...
Then, the bow must be tuned: paper tune, bare shaft tune, french/walk back/group/broadhead tune/etc...). There are personal preferences on how to do this.
And, last not least: shooter’s form must be good & consistent.

What type/style of bow is the op shooting? It will help answers some questions for him
