I’ve been shooting a lot in preparation for my upcoming plains game trip. Well today I busted out my broadheads and shot them at some decent distances. 40-60 yards and noticed all of them were hitting to the right of my field tips as far as 3” or so. This really concerns me as my trip is only 3 weeks out. I’m not any kind of bow tuner and I want to shoot fixed heads now(RamCat, ST Mag, and Magnus BlackHornet). Should a good bow tune at a pro shop fix this issue?

Yes. If it isn't a spine issue a good center tune at the archery shop should fix it or you can try yourself. -
just move your rest left just a little..
Shoot from 40 yards and move your rest until the broad heads are with your field tips.. Should be an easy fix.. once you get them together you may have to move your sight a little but that's no big deal. Basically your arrow is a little tip right.. Its showing up with the broadheads and its not showing up with the field tipsComment

This right here. I was just do this this evening. Mine was about the same as the OP about 3” at 60yds. Just took a half a mark on the rest. Then I rechecked at 20 then straight back to 60. Did this till they was on top of each other at 20 @ 60.Comment

as mentioned. Walk the BH to the FP in micro-adjustments....BH hits right move the rest to the left.Comment

As mentioned above. Don't be afraid to adjust your own bow. Youtube is a wealth of knowledge in learning how to get your bow to perfection.Comment

I know it’s ignorant, but will this make them both hit the same target or will my bow just be sighted in for the broadheadsOriginally posted by JTeLarkin08 View PostComment

Yep, since your bow doesn't have yokes you'll need to adjust the rest a touch left. Broadheads/bareshafts are more affected by the movement versus the fletched arrow.
If the rest is to much then you'll need to mess with the top hats.Comment

Make sure your bow is squared, the axis are set on your sight and get a paper tune done first before moving things. Tweaking a sight to overcome other issues can be a bad deal sometimes. I am experienced at being a loser

Once the broadheads and field points are impacting at the same point by adjusting your rest, then adjust your sight.Originally posted by Justin Spies View Post
You should also make sure your arrows are spined correctly. If you go on the equipment and tuning section, there are several guys with arrow spine software that can help you. If your spine is not correct you will never get broadheads and field points to hit the same spot.Comment

Justin,
Once you get this dialed in, make sure you mark your setting on the rest or take a picture of it with your phone. My brother had his bow in his SKB case and the airlines threw that thing all over the place (probably because it was hard sided). I told him to pack all his clothes in there to help protect it. He didn't and all the tossing of the case worked his bow loose inside and when we got to camp he was missing the entire target wide left. Couldn't figure it out until he touched his rest and it moved freely. All the tossing of the case caused his rest to come loose. He didn't have it marked so we had to eye ball it and then do a little walk back tuning to make sure we got it as close to perfect as we could. Luckily it worked out for him, but having a setting marked or picture of the setting would have saved a lot of time and anxiety. Even after we tuned it, there was still a lack of confidence since we didn't have the proper tools nor were we certain it was in the correct spot.Comment

I see what you are saying now.Originally posted by ken View Post
Chris at Valhalla(Muddy Fuzzy) built these arrows for me based on my setup. I would think they are correct.Comment
