Broad head noise in flight..

[whitetailtrail]

Both my Bloodrunners and Muzzy Phantom Mx's are whistling out of my bow, any ideas why this would be happening?

[Coach W]

Whistling?? If you have some pieces of taget still on your bh from the last shot they can whistle from time to time. Like in the blades???

Other than that when my arrows whistle its because my vanes are about to come off.. And theres room for a little bit of air between the vane and the shaft.



Tapatalk rocks!!

Well there's a chance it could be the target foam left in the broad head, but I looked for that and it looked pretty clean to me! And I checked vanes, and theyre all good! It's kinda worrying me.

I shoot the bloodrunner 2 blade and it whiffels. Is this the samething you are hearing? I think it is from the slots cut in the blades. I shot a muzzy 3 blade fixed head for comparison and it doesn't make any noise. Let's just say I will be shooting a different broadhead than the bloodrunner this year.

[whitetailtrail]

Yes, I think that may be it. And the muzzy phantom has the slots in the blades too!

They all make noise in flight, some more than others.

F15s are aweful it was noticeable to my wife from behind me. My guess it's due to the gaps on the heads.

[DoubleGArchery]

Death Whistle the last thing they hear.

Several years ago, we tested different mechanicals for "in-flight" noise. I stood behind a barrier a few yards from a target while my father shot. He was 40 yards away so I couldn't hear his shot release. I was surprised how loud some of them were! Some whistled, some rattled. Of the ones we tried at the time, the Rocket Wolverines were the quietest flying. I just could not believe how loud some were. I suggest you do you own tests. Just be safe and MAKE SURE you are behind something that the arrow CANNOT penetrate. A quiet bow doesn't do you any good when your broadhead is screaming like a banshee!

Interesting. I've been told that the noise can only be heard from behind the BH, so it doesn't matter bow loud it is. Good to know.
