unioncountyslayer Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. Sounds like a sight problem, not a broadhead problem. Try adjusting your sight and then shoot again. Something may have gotten knocked off since you last shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Blade Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. If your field points are hitting dead on and your broadheads are hitting to the left,,,,,,,Then just move your rest to the right a little at a time untill the broadheads group with the field points.........Once the broadheads are hitting the same place as your field tips just reset your sights...........

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. I had trouble when I tried Muzzys, same issue you had, switched to G5 Montecs and they flew identical to my fieldtips with no adjustments to my sight or rest!!

Guest tyshe17 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. make sure your blades are lined up with your vanes...last year I played around with this, and I was more than 5 in off when they werent lined up, and when they were I was right on the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. There is no way to line up a 4 blade broadheads with a 3 fletch. I agree with 4 blade. You need to rest tune. Check out the Easton tuning guide. Also be sure and spin test your broadheads. If the head is not straight it will not shoot straight.

wtnhunt Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. Shooting muzzies, I never shoot field points anymore, but it sounds like it could be a sight problem as mentioned above, might possibly have gotten knowcked off. If you are shooting field points and they are hitting different then Hutchies is probably on track with what your problem might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have tested it and it makes no difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. I was taught to do that from my grandfather. I tried it once without doing and and they shot the same. Never worried about it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzorp Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Broadhead troubles. I have the same problem, I shoot Muzzy 125, just came across and article in Peterson Whitetail Bow Hunting, according to that, assuming your fieldtips are set, if the broad head hits the target above , move nock up, opposite if it hits below. If it hits to the left, arrow can be overspined, decrease spine or increase broadhead weight. If broadhead hits to right, arrow is underspined. Increase spine or decrease broadhead weight,, At least that is what article states,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
