Question for the experts

[txdukklr]

Your field tips and broadheads will not hit in the same place so you will have to adjust to where your broadheads are hitting.

wrong

It can be done, But it's a secret.

right

Tune your bow with the broadheads. Sometimes the field points will appear to tune fine but when you put a broadhead on, the blades will cause the arrow to plane off b/c the bow isn't really tuned correctly.
Hence, reverse thinking, if the bow is tuned for broadheads, the field points wil fly perfect.

wrong

I can't believe folks would give advice on tuning when they don't know. You can tune your bow to have a broadhead and field point hit the exact same spot. . . . period. It takes time and a little bit of knowledge to get done but its not only possible it's responsible.

trust me depending on your bow it might only take about 20 minutes to get your bow so that you can shoot broadheads and fp to the same place.

THIS and what oktx said. Retune.

The guy is at the lease and fixing to go hunt I assume, so I don't think he has time to study up on tuning his stuff.

Like I said before, adjust your sight in small increments untill you get them hitting where you want consistently, and go kill something...

Simple

Edit: Worry about the rest when you get home from the lease.

this i will agree with, fix it now so you can hunt but tuning a bow is a huge plus.

I don't think people realize that a poorly tuned bow can make you think your not capable at longer yardages. hitting the bull at 20 with a field point does not mean that windage is good at 40 yards. A straight flying arrow will allow you to confidently work on your technique.

an arrow not flying straight will be exacerbated with broadheads and paper tuning is only a part of the answer.

If your broadheads are hitting low and right Here is the sequence. DO NOT touch your sights during this tuning.

1: Move your rest 1/16" to the left. Shoot a field point and Broadhead.

2: If this has brought the two on the same plane (In line with each other then but still low on the broadhead)then proceed to step three. If not then repeat step one.

3: Move your rest 1/16" up. Shoot a field point and Broadhead. Repeat until you get your desired result. If you get them within 1" from each other just leave it alone. You will spend all day out tuning trying to robin hood your arrow.

After that is said and done and they are hitting the same. Adjust your entire sight to the first pin and it should be the same.

rrebel83 has it right.

I think you misunderstood what I said. My point (pun) was that a properly tuned bow will shoot broadheads and fp the same.

[Bish]

Are you shooting the same grain broadheads as field tips?

[dragonsdaddy]

I was shooting 4 blade muzzy and slick tricks- I could move my sight but then when i practice with field points im gonna shoot high left.

it is significantly more important, at least to the deer , where the broadheads hit. aim low rt with the field points and you're good. mine do the same thing. when i shoot targets in the off season i shoot with practice broadheads, so it's no big deal to me.

[txdukklr]

why would anyone take the time to re-sight with fieldpoints and broadheads or hold off target for shooting or practice when you can fix the problem in 15 minutes?

rrebel 83 just described something that takes about 20-30 arrows and gets you grouping a silver dollar with both.

Sorry to spoil you statement, but yes, they do hit the same spot. Each and every one of the bows that left my shop for a bh tune did at 50yds. And I did a lot this year, from Athens to Renagade, Diamond, Hoyt, Mathews, etc.

[TxThumper]

I found that Muzzy's are particular about arrow rests. I had the same issue with a spott Hogg whammy arrow rest, switched from fixed blade to mechanical broadhead and it was cured. My octane hostage rest would put the muzzy and field points in the same place. No re-tune necessary. Atleast that was an experience I had, hope it helps.

[DaveC]

Have you ruled out fletching contact with the rest?
