Get it to the shop and tell them the problems you may or are having and let them help you get the bow tuned.
      To the OP.......I shoot GR, have for a LONG time, very good blood trails. I have seen alot of good comments, but I will say this, hunt with what YOU have confidence in!! That could be Slick Trix, Thunderhead, Rage, whatever..... put the pill where the pain is and guess what.....dead animal.

      Mudslinger (and others in the know)....I have been bowhunting for 20+ yrs, have many animals of many species under my belt with a bow (even a few East Texas P&Y's), and have never seen my Broadheads shoot exactly like my field points (close but NEVER exact), never have thought twice about it.

      I could be wrong, but I don't "THINK" ( <-- keyword), just because your BH does not hit exactly where your FP does, that it means you are out of tune.

      I hope I have'nt been killing animals with an untuned bow!!! That would just be WRONG!!!

        My reapers fly and group like my field points, but then again IMHO my bow was tuned by one of the best.

          Reapers and Slick Tricks are about as close to FP's as I have ever dealt with, but even saying that, my reapers were shooting about 1" left at 30yds and a tad low. Are you saying you could shoot a FP in the Target and then cut the vains with your reapers (consistently)?

          The reason I ask, is because I will do some tweaking on my bow before the season if you guys are saying that your BH's and FP's shoot EXACTLY the same.

          BTW sscheevel15, thanks for a good thread!

            My Ramcats and field points fly just the same out to 50 yards. Not to many BH's with an 1 3/8" cut fly like field points

              Ditto mine flew perfectly with my field tips as well as my slick tricks, grizz tricks, shuttle t locks and my muzzy's.

              If i were only gonna shoot a 1-3/8 cut three blade. I would not shoot the reaper over the ramcat. It wouldnt even be close. I do like the 1-3/4 reapers tho.

                Looks like I will spend a little time fine tuning. Thanks for the helpful input guys and the informative thread.

                  If you are looking at a larger cut, look at the new Ramcat 125. 1 1/2" cut 3 blade!

                      Pig from my avatar met the reaper. He ran 33 yards and fell over. You can see the feeder on the left side of my avatar lol

                      It was a huge hole

                        Ragin', get down and beg and Brett might just do it. Can you think of the holes a 4 blade 1 1/2" cut would do!

                              You can never go wrong with the 3 blade muzzy, with a 55# draw weight might even try a COC the Phantom or Magnus make a good blade too.

                                Yep I had a 330lb pig meet a Whitetail Special one time and it ran 30yrds max blood everywhere and a pass thru but I was pushing over 100lb of KE to. Reapers are very very good heads. I am with Ragin the 1 3/4 reapers rock.
