Same fixed-blade lateral drift metric as the plot above (torqued field-point group vs. torqued fixed-blade group on the same build), plotted against FoC % with each point colored by its shaft + spine combination. Use this to see whether a particular shaft / stiffness pairing tracks the field point more or less truly under torque as FoC % varies. Each point is one arrow build.

Same data as the plot above, with each point colored by total arrow weight grouped into 50-grain bands (350 to 750gr) instead of by shaft + spine. Use this to check whether arrow weight, not FoC %, is driving the fixed-blade drift relative to the field point. Each point is one arrow build.

Distance from the untorqued field points to the torqued field points (torqued minus untorqued, in inches). Same arrow, same shaft, same vanes, same point, only the torque condition differs. The more positive the value, the farther right the torqued field points hit; negative values mean they hit left of the untorqued ones. The induced launch torque pushes impacts left, so vanes that resist the torque keep the value closer to zero or positive. Each point is colored by its shaft + spine combination.

Distance from the untorqued QAD Exodus fixed-blade groups to the torqued ones (torqued minus untorqued, in inches). Same arrow, same shaft, same vanes, same broadhead, only the torque condition differs. The more positive the value, the farther right the torqued fixed-blade groups hit; negative values mean they hit left of the untorqued ones. Compare against the field-point sibling above to see whether the broadhead amplifies or damps the torque effect relative to a clean shot. Each point is colored by its shaft + spine combination.

Same data as the plot above, with each point colored by total arrow weight grouped into 50-grain bands (350 to 750gr) instead of by shaft + spine. Use this to check whether arrow weight, not FoC %, is driving the torque-induced fixed-blade drift. Each point is one arrow build.

Both torque-drift series on one plot: distance from the untorqued group to the torqued group (torqued minus untorqued, in inches) for both the field point and the QAD Exodus fixed blade. Same arrow, same shaft, same vanes, same point. Only the torque condition differs. Each arrow build appears twice (once per point type) so you can read the field-point and fixed-blade torque response side by side at the same FoC %. The induced launch torque pushes impacts left, so values closer to zero (or positive) mean the build resisted the torque better.

Signed lateral miss between the aim point and the torqued field-point group center, in inches. The aim point is fixed 18 inches right of each build's untorqued field-point group center, so it represents a consistent visual target across builds without anchoring to the photo-frame landmark. Positive values mean the torqued field point landed left of the aim point, negative means right (under the induced lateral torque simulating shooter error). Smaller magnitudes mean the build resisted the torque better. Each point is colored by its shaft + spine combination.

Signed lateral miss between the aim point and the torqued QAD Exodus 100gr fixed-blade group center, in inches. The aim point is the same as for the field-point plot above: fixed 18 inches right of each build's untorqued field-point group center. Compare against the field-point version to see how much extra drift the broadhead adds on top of the torque-only response. Each point is colored by its shaft + spine combination.
