Iron Buck,

I think you should try a Whisker Biscuit. I have used one for a few years now and absolutely love it. As far as your helical fletching, I really don't think it makes a difference in arrow flight with broadheads. You might try some arrows with straight fletches, that's all I use and I kill plenty of game.

I only shoot broadheads, usually my Muzzy practrice heads and swith to sharps when hunting. Even using the Muzzy's before adding the Steelforce heads does not seem to be an issue. Again, non helical fletching.

Last year I killed my buck and three warthogs with the Steelforce heads. I had pass throughs on all of them and my bow is maxed at 65.5 pounds. Ribs on both sides of the deer were shattered. Killed bison with the Muzzy's, they busted through the first rib and stick into the shoulder/arm bone on the far side. No complaints with either. Hell they all work but the Steelforce seem a bit sturdier. I've never been disapointed with Muzzy either. Just like to switch up a bit. I do know I won't go to a mech head. The only thing you will find with the Steelforce is the bleeder blades may bend. They are replaceable. Also, Steelforce will sharpen the heads for free, you just ship them in. I do like that. They come out of the box sharper than Muzzy's.

I use Toxonics sights. The one I have on my current set up is a few years old, they are the typical horizontal pins and I have never had them move or loosen up. You do need a hex key for adjusting them. It has a leveler but don't really find that to be much of a help. When I do happen to look at it I find I am pretty much holding my bow straight with out really thinking about it. Just adds more weight and junk to the set up to me. I'd remove it if I could but it is welded on with some sort of epoxy.

I have found that the way I hold the bow makes the difference on whether it is level or not. I touch my index finger to my thumb and also have my middle finger resting on the index. The grip is not tights but seems to balance the bow just right. It may be that you have a lot of stuff on your bow which unbalances it? I do not hunt with the quiver on. Makes a difference for me.
