    Field tips and broadheads????

    Ok, the other day I posted on here that I was having trouble getting my field tips and broadheads to group together, I had quite a few responses and alot of good advice (thank you).
    Now I replaced my octane hostage rest with a NAP Apache drop away, and that made a big difference in flight. I made several adjustments in windage and elevation on the rest and finally got my broadheads hitting within a 1/2 inch of my field points. Getting good tight groups all the way out to 40 yds. (yay) and adjusted my sights to match.
    Now when you put an arrow on the rest and look down the center line of the bow, lining up the limb bolts and arrow and stabilizer (everything on center), the arrow is pointing to the right by approximately 1/2 in out of line with everything else. I am so confused - how can it be that far out of center but get that good of groups with fp's and bh's ???
    Is there something wrong or is that just the way this bow likes to be? I can post a pic if I need to.

    Stop looking at the arrow like that , and just keep shooting! Your arrow will NEVER look to be in line with the strings and pins at the same time.

      X2. I don't have any of mine that line up straight while at rest.

        My pins are always left of string and arrow line, but I think the OP is saying that his arrow is pointing inside of center of the bow by 1/2 inch, and this is pretty far inside.
        Measure from shaft to riser at front and back of riser, and there should be aslight difference inside, but not 1/2 inch.

          I am sorry, when I said 1/2" im meant all the way at the end of the arrow. so another words - in 28" there is a 1/2" difference. Does that make scense.
          See photo with a line straight through the middle and arrow pointing to the right.

            I would try and determine why it is that far inside,
            could be you torquing, or could be a leaning cam or idler.
