Bowtuning question

[saphira]

i can shoot my bow all day long with 125grain fieldtips and hit my mark but switc to my broadheads it shoots off is there something else that i need to do.

Have you paper tuned the bow? What type heads, are the heads balanced, any wobble when you check/spin them?

[PotashRLS]

Please post the specs on your whole setup........like draw weight and length, bow type, rest, arrow kind/length, broadhead kind/weight.

There are lots of folks here that will be able to help you!

Paper tune your bow and make sure the arrow is coming off your rest correctly. After that shoot your broadheads. By the way, what broadhead are you shooting?

This is assuming that the arrow shafts you have were cut or made square and that the face of the inserts are square.

It could simply be the broadhead. I have had broadheads that no matter what I did would not hit where my field tips did. I just had to adjust my sights for my broadheads. Only other option was to switch to a different head. But definitely try paper and broadhead tuning first.

I'm with the paper tuning croud. Any kick off the string and your broadhead is going to amplify your problem a lot more than your field tips.

In our bowshop we see broadhead flight problems all of the time...95% of the time it's because the head wasn't tuned to the arrow. Spin tuning is a must, and if done correctly you can make virtually ANY head fly. but first, we need specs on your set-up

def. paper tune it, but make sure you have a wrist sling on and let your bow fall when you shoot. some people torque the bow and would never think they were. hold the bow open between the index and thumb and let the bow fall. if your still having the same issues then as said above spine makes a difference as does $9 broadheads from walmart

I've had issues with specific arrows too, probably due to cutting or fletching issues. Today I took all my arrows and shot 3 different broad heads in each one, 4 shots each all at 30 yards. Those that flew well on every shot with all three heads went in a group and will be saved without shooting until just before deer season opens. The rest will be practice arrows with field tips only. All of them shoot great with field tips.
