I bought a 3 pack of Muzzy MX-3 100 grain broadheads. Two blades slip down onto/into the shaft just fine and the notch on the blade lines up with the top of the center piece. However, the third blade on each one refuses to slip into a groove. Am I missing something here???

This is the first time I have ever tried to assemble a broadhead. It seems as though there is no groove/pocket in the center shaft on the third location.

It is Muzzy item 225-MX3-3

Stupid me. I was installing the blades wrong. I was only putting the bent part into the shaft. I now realize that the 120 degree bend goes in the CENTER of the shaft. The instructions on the package are not very clear. After finally figuring it out they assembled easily.

Chalk one up for the stupid newbie.

At first about 6-8" low. Dead on left to right, but by that time I was pretty well tired. Started work today at 5AM and by 7PM I was pretty well tired. I will try tomorrow when I am better rested. After my initial post, I now feel so stupid. But I guess i got a few friends.........

Once again, when we went inside at 8PM we noticed deer feeding in the back yard while we had been shooting in the front yard. I made another post about that yesterday.

I swear this archery thing is so tough trying to learn off the internet. We finally found a club within a 30 minute drive this past weekend and hope to pick the brains of their members.
