This wasnt as hard as I thought it would be. The first shot was tearing high and right.

The second shot was done after I moved the nock down and moved the rest to the left.

This is actually the fifth shot after making the same adjustments to the nock and rest. I dont think I can do anything else with it.

It looks like I might be just a tad bit high yet. But it should be shooting better! Would you move the nock down even more??? I have a nock tool kit, it shows that the nock is sitting 1/16" above the zero mark. According to the directions, I should be 1/4". I think I need to invest in the Deluxe Whisker Biscuit, the one with the up and down adjustments.

What do you all think??? :confused:

Not to be funny, but why? I never seen anybody doing that. Besides, if the blades dont line up with the fletchings perfect. More than likely will cut a big hole. Just a guess!

If you want to take for granted that your broadheads will fly the same as paper tuned fieldpoints out of your setup, that's your choice.

If you want to know for sure then I suggest you try one.

Sometimes it's ok and sometimes it's not.

Well I know last year I got the FT and BH hitting the same mark. But I see where your coming from. Since I moved everything around a bit now. I should check. Thanks I just wanted to know why! But, if the blades are not aligned with the fletchings, will that be a problem?

I've never done this with expandable heads. But in my experience with fixed heads. If everything is still good, the broadhead blades will typically leave the only cuts you see on the paper.

This is because usually the cutting diameter of the broadhead is the same or larger than the "cutting" diameter of the fletching. Once the paper gets cut, the fletching doesn't cut it more, it just pushes the paper flaps out of the way. It really doesn't matter if the blades align with the fletching for this exercise. As a result you really won't be able to tell if the papertuning is perfect with broadheads. So trying to tune with them is basically futile. But if you do see a difference in the broadhead hole, you absolutely got a problem.

If that happens. First, spin check your arrows (if you haven't already). Then start trying different broadhead styles.

:cool:
