Greath video! I have read on a sniper forum that if a bullet spin right, and the wind comes from the left, the wind doesn't affect bullet left-righ tfajectory, and vice-versa. It would be greath to see if the arrows are affect by wind, in regards of arrows' spin direction.
My interest is to see what happens on impact with opposing fletching and head. Does the broadhead come unscrewed any of you have left helical right bevel??
Great video! Can you recreate this test with Bohning Heat vanes? They're a lot stiffer and lower profile so I'd like to see their affect on the arrows.
honestly, I would like to see the heats and blazers shot with right helical, and field points, broadheads, in slow mo and see how many times they rotate in a 20 yard space. I find that portion of your testing very relevant. more rotations = more steering = better correction for small form errors with broadheads. The heats are a longer lower profile vane, they are much stiffer and they hit the same POI with blazers out to 60 yards in my experience with field points. But some arrow broadhead setups like the blazers better, some like the Heats better???
Heat vanes don't have the same level of control as a blazer. Extreme offset angles and higher speeds, the heat will have an advantage due to the stiffness. However for most people the blazer will control a broadhead better.
I"ll mail you some heats if that would help. I shoot both Heats and Blazers with pretty similar results and have wondered how they compare to the blazers in steering ability...
I don't really know of a way to test "steering". IMO as long as the arrow is well tuned to begin with, and the broadhead well aligned, most any fletching will provide enough drag and spin to make it shoot accurately, assuming the fletch is applied with helical/offset to begin with. I'm open to suggestions though how to conduct such a test.
If you turn on CC (Closed Captioning) the velocity and rpm of each arrow is given. Aerodynamically, single bevels offer less resistance to the rotation of the fletching when they are "opposite" the fletching, so actually the left helical/right bevels spin about 10% faster in this test than Left/Left.
Thanks for responding back. I’ll be sure to remember this when I’m getting my arrows built. I’m going to a single bevel this year so this info is helpful
@@glennprince9983 I would not base your choice of bevel direction solely on which provides the fastest rotation. Even though a single bevel is slightly more aerodynamic when the bevel is opposite the fletchings, it's generally recommended by broadhead manufacturers to match the bevel and the fletching because a left bevel head will tend to rotate left when it contacts hard objects such as bone.
I’m planning on (well pretty sure I have my mind made up) going with the 200 grain Cutthroat this year. In your opinion would it be better to match the bevel with the helical I know it would be best to test myself but just looking for opinions. Thank you once again for responding back I really appreciate it
@@glennprince9983I posted several videos testing 200 grain CutThroats with various fletching/bevel configurations. "If" I was going to actually use them for hunting, I would definitely shoot Left Helical and Left Bevel out of my bow that casts a bareshaft with a CCW (left) rotation.
Man, what a great video. I appreciate the time and effort You spent on it. This was very interesting.

Why do the left everything spin faster?

Is it just me or did that spin better with the left bevel with left helical

Well the left seems to spin faster but then the bows naturally spin arrows to left
