To start out I'm shooting Muzzys. The problem is that my field tips shoot about a foot high. Is this normal? Any help appreciated.

are they the same grain? would think the shoot the same if they are the same weight i could be very wrong -
I didn't have good luck out of Muzzys flying anywhere remotely close to my field tips. I was 4" right and 4" low.Comment

They are both 100 grains.Comment

Few questions to get things narrowed down...
Have you had the bow paper tuned?
Have you tried walk back tuning?
Draw length of the bow?
Draw weight?
What arrows and length?Comment

Bow has been paper tuned. Draw length is 28 in. Weight is at 62 I believe. Shooting Gold Tip XT Hunter 5575 cut at 29 inches. Shoots about a foot high no matter the distance.Comment

Are Muzzys the only broadhead you've tried to shoot out of that setup?Comment

Field tips are shooting where they should, most likely. If the broadheads are hitting a foot lower than the field tips, then arrow is likely coming off the bow angled down, and the broadheads are planing.Comment

I would start by doing the following:
1) Shoot another brand of broadhead and see if you get similar results.
2) Verify that your nock height is correct (I prefer to compare a bareshaft to a fletched arrow for this instead of papertuning).
3) Get some lipstick or athletes foot spray and apply to your fletchings, shoot an arrow and then inspect your bow to see if any material has transfered during the shot.
It's possible that the Muzzys may just not be flying well for you, but I'd be willing to bet you have something slightly out of tune in your setup. Most minor tuning issues are usually not apparent when shooting field tips because the fletchings will correct for it quickly after the arrow leaves the bow.
As Shane mentioned, broadheads have the tendency to steer the arrow. If the bow isn't tuned or if your fletchings are not big enough to overpower the planing effect of the broadheads you'll see a different point of impact.Comment

We really need to know more before we start guessing.
What bow?(cam style could have a timing issue)
What rest,(fall-away could be staying up a little long)
After knowing more, it very well could be a simple rest raise or nock point lowering, but without knowing all the details, we're just throwing **** out there.Comment

Most likely the nock point needs to be lowered, when you say it was paper tuned was it shooting a bullet hole? Hard to believe that the difference would be that much off at 20 yards was that the distance you were shooting at? For starters the arrow should run thru the center of the burger hole when the arrow rest is in the shooting position. Some bows like the nock level and some need to be set slight nock high from level to around 1/8 of an inch.Originally posted by rocky View PostComment

First off im new here.....and ive really enjoyed reading all the threads and getting educated.
I was actually having this problem this past week my field points were hitting dead on but my muzzys were off an inch to the right and an inch down. I also have some G5/T3's broadheads and I tried those as well, those are hitting dead on, same as my field points. Ive been hunting with the G5/T3's the past two years and love them! But I went to the muzzy for a cheaper broadhead to stick some pigs with, I was tired of using the more expensive G5/T3 on pigs.Comment

What Rocky said...and make sure they "spin" true...no wobble. They muzzy's I've shot in the past would have 1 or 2 in the pack that were bent (reason I dont shoot them). But once straight they shot as good as any other BH out of my bow.Comment
