Question about broadhead tuning

[RunsWithBeer]

UPDATE: so I got everything tuned up, got the Broadheads hitting right on top of the fields points. Even gotta re fletch a couple because of cutting the fletches so that's good and yes i still have almost a perfect tear. But I did want to add this. I went from Shooting the exodus to trying out some of the razor tricks as I have already loved shooting the ST. I just have to say...wow. These Broadheads shoot like lasers. They were grouping right with my FPs at the first shot. And after about 50 shots with the same head, it'll still shave. I have definately found what I'm gonna be stabbing with this year. Just too bad I didn't try them earlier.

Partly,(mostly) true.


A 6 inch tear would be a little much.




Okay, we're kinda comparing apples to oranges.
It is true that a slight left, slight high tear for a RH shooter computes to a better grouping bow with field tips because the arrow is correcting towards the same spot each shot, creating form forgiveness, as opposed to a perfectly straight shot that is less forgiving in aiming.
Think in terms as to why a bowler spins his ball down the lane instead of throwing it straight.
The spin is a roll error corrector.
The OP is trying to get FP and BH to the same impact, and a good hole thru paper is the best starting point, but not allways a requirement.

It always worked with a 145 Muzzy and a 145 field tip. Wait. Apples to oranges i forgot!

Increasing point weight will decrease the spine.

Sorry, you are right!

If I end up havin any more issues he will be the next and only person working on my bow, but after some serious range time yesterday and a few little tweaks here and there I've got it shooting really well. Not that I would take a hunting shot this far but I'm confident in my field point and broadhead impact out to at least 65-70 yrds. I even had a chance to get my HHA dialed in out to 90, just for fun lol

Keep practicing at the longer distances and when a shot opportunity occurs, the short shots will seem very easy. Glad you got things shooting together. And always remember, your first shot even practicing should be treated like your first and possibly only shot at an animal. Treat all your practice shots like they are the only shot you are going to get.

I'm a rookie, and my two scents would be worth less. Never killed with a bow, but hope to this year.....but I gotta say..

"RunsWithBeer" should win an award for a selecting a really clever name! :-)
