    Broadheads hitting to the left

    My field points are hitting right on, but my broadheads are hitting to the left. Its a drop away rest and made sure the vanes were not hitting (lipstick test ). Could my arrow shafts be overspined? Any help would be awesome, thanks.

      How far to the left? Probably just need to do a micro adjustment on your rest. Move it a hair to the right.

          Get heavier broadheads or crank your bow down a pound or two

              Are you left handed?

                  This is exactly right. Make small (really small) adjustments and re-check till BH a FP hit same point, then adjust your site.

                      Let me ask this question then. When shooting a broadhead does it amplify your shooting flaws ( hand torque or movement) more than say a field point?

                          This is not uncommon. We sometimes spend a lot of time trying to get this worked out. Sometimes is just comes down to getting it as close as your equipment, tuning, form, and time allows during hunting season. 3/4" left at 30 yards may be as close as you can get without major changes like a different rest or new arrows etc. For bow season just sight in the broadheads and then after the season go back to work trying to figure it out. Download the Easton Tuning guide. Here is one of the graphics from it to help guide you.
