how do you get arrows to spin

[bear]

My question is what arrow spinner or instrument do you use to help get your arrows spinning true with broadheads attached. I have noticed when I spin some of my arrows with broadheads in them it appears the broadhead wobbles a little. I tried making small adjustments either tightening it or backing it off some but the results were the same, a small wobble and a less than accurate arrow flight. So, what can I do.....I know this has probably been discussed a million times but I couldnt find it so sorry to rehash.... thanks yall

What kind of broadheads are you using?
I've read that some of the Magnus heads don't always spin true.

Are you shooting Axis arrows or other hidden insert arrows?
Is it possible that the arrow is cut crooked and causing the head to be a little of?.
You can eliminate this possibility by putting a "good" broadhead on an arrow that had a "bad" broadhead on it and re-spinning it.

I think Pine Ridge Archery makes one.

Sounds as if your insert is not square with the arrow. If when cut the end of the arrow is out of square then so will the insert.

The more I think about this, I think it might be false. Here's why.
The insert glues to the inside walls of the arrow shaft, not the cut end of the arrow. Theoretically, you could cut the end of the arrow at any (minor) angle and the insert should still go in parallel to the arrow shaft simply because it uses the shaft walls as a guide.

I've been wrong before, but doesn't this make sense?

I have had good results using the Arrow Squaring Device made by G5 Outdoors. It is inexpensive and very easy to use. If the insert is slightly crooked or it is slightly out of square you will get wobble. The tool grinds a little metal off and squares it up nicely. I use it on any arrow that will have a broadhead attached.

Taxi is right. I actually cut some of my arrows with a die grinder and they arent always straight but it shouldnt bother because the inside of the shaft squares the insert. I have never had a wobble problem because of a slight angle on the cut end of the arrow.

You may want to try re-heating your inserts and spinning them in the shaft some.
