I got this off of there FAQ section. Is this info correct? This not my question.
The Swhacker Broadheads I bought do not fly like field points. They drift to the right with graduating extremity over distance. I shoot a properly spined arrow from a bow that is paper turned and walk back tuned with field points. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
Sometimes just a slight change in weight distribution due to the increased length of the broadhead will cause the tune to change slightly between field tips and broadheads. The stiffer the spine and the higher your FOC is, the less this has an effect.
If you are a right-handed shooter, then move your rest to the right a small amount at a time. Each time you move it, shoot the broadhead and a field point. Keep repeating this process until the heads and the tips fly in the same spot. One they are hitting the same spot, you can set you sight. It shouldn't take much to bring them together. This is the spot your bow wants to shoot the broadhead/arrow combination straight down the pipe.
What's happening is the arrow is not coming out perfectly straight, and even thought the wing blades are very small, there's enough there to steer the arrow to the right as it comes out of the bow. When the arrow starts it movement from an angle, the angle increases the farther away the target is located.
