Broadheads Tailing Right

[Lone_Wolf]

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 tips

This is correct, also some super forgiving fixed heads that fly just like field points with a COC point like the Dirt Naps are great. I couldn't believe how well these heads flew. I mainly shoot NAP spitfires(mechanicals), but the Dirt Naps fly right with the field points and the mechanicals. If you really want to get your bow tuned up make a trip to Hoffy's. Your arrow flight will be pristine. www.hoffysarchery.com

Triax

Triax should be around a 13/16" center shot. Make sure your rest is moved to 13/16". Hopefully your rest is just off. If so, this will fix the issue. If it does not, you will check cam timing (just google triax timing holes). If timing is good, then you will have to adjust the top hats on the top cam. You will need a press to adjust everything besides the rest.

Personally, I would not move the rest "out of tune" to get proper flight. You will loose efficiency and performance with the bow. I would get the rest and timing to spec, then adjust with the top hats. You can figure that out by shooting a bareshaft and fletched shaft at 20 yards.

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?

Move your rest to the left until the BH group is good. Then resight.

Should be around 13/16 but center shot is just a guide on bows without a yolk. If you can’t shim your cam or twist yolks the only way to make it tune is your rest. That’s why most bow companies give you like 1/4” on the center shot specs. All depends on grip and spine from there.

Correct, I have seen them go +/- 1/16", but never +/- 1/8" (Granted I have not messed with more than a few Triaxs. The triax can be tuned with the top hat shims.

I personally wouldn't put the center shot that far out without attempting to correct it without the yokes, shims, or top hats in this case.

It is the brand of bow you are shooting Justin. I would suggest a different brand! LOL!

All good suggestions from above. Good luck to everyone on this trip!

Thank You Doug! I have shot most all of the brands. I am not loyal to anything. If I like the way it shoots I go with it. Problem is that I have been "cheating" so to speak and shooting Rage for my first ten years of hunting and never had to worry with a good tuned bow.

Just out of curiosity, why are you changing broadheads now?

This? Rage will kill any Plains game over there. Harry does not mind mechanicals.

I decided to switch to a fixed head. I had one experience on the deer of a lifetime that I can't get passed.

Justin Mathews recommends tuning the Triax with the top hats. The center shot should be set to the factory recommended distance and the adjustments made to the top hats first. The Triax can be a finicky bow to tune and the process is a little different. You don’t have a spine issue, the bow just needs a little work.

So adjusting the rest is no good?

It all depends on how far off it is. If your rest is close to 3/16 and you can get it tuned with the rest it is fine. If your way off center you need to move the top hats.

If you can get it to shoot a fletched bullet hole through paper then you can tune it with the the rest. If you can’t get a bullet hole you need to swap the top hats.

From what you have said I would bet it’s just a rest issue

Your groups don’t sound too bad to me. If you are close to factory center shot then a small adjustment to the rest position; as little as a 1/32”, may be all you need.

I used the rage hypos this past trip because I knew I may have had to take some longer shots. Just never felt great about my fixed blade so I went with them. Generally I like to shoot DRTs
