Broadhead Flight Tests

I've got everything flying good, at all distances with the arrow spine, feather and shaft length, etc.....out of this ILF Hoyt Satori 19" riser with Uukha Gobi short limbs, at 45#. :cool:

I shot all 3 of the different weight broadheads with an interior shaft weight to make each one meet the 200 gr. field tip weight, that I've been shooting out of this recurve. There's a Steel Force 175 gr. (20 gr. added), Grizzly 150 gr. (50 gr. added) and an Amazon DRT look-a-like that's 135 gr. (70 gr. added). All of which shot to the same point of impact as the field tips, at 15 and 20 yards. 💯 Since I'm string walking, I was curious to see if my hand/tab on the string position would influence broadhead flight and I was very happy to see that there are no changes. :)
