Results of todays broadhead tuning at 33 yards

Slick Trick and Field Point at 33 yards. First thing I did was get the nock point height right. Confirmed it at 20 and 33 yards. Broadheads and fieldpoints were hitting the same elevation. The broadheads were now grouping on the left side of the field points. So I cranked the bow weight adjustment up 1/4 turn per limb. Then the broadheads started grouping on the right side of the field points. So I turned it down an eighth turn each limb and now the slicktricks and field points are hitting in the same spot. Enough for today. Too tired to shoot anymore. It was a good day! First order of business next time I shoot is to confirm that everything is still right.

This is Easton's broadhead tuning diagram if anyone is interested. It pretty much tells you everything you need to do. I do recommend you walk back tune to make sure your rest left to right is correct before you do this.

Here's the results of getting the windage right on the sight after broadhead tuning.

I used broadhead tuning to optimize my draw weight for the arrows I'm shooting. 68.5 lbs is the magic number for my setup. More or less draw weight and the broadheads hit left or right of the fieldpoint. I can certainly pull heavier but this is the draw weight my setup shoots the best.

This is a 20 yard target with three different heads. Slicktrick 125 standard, Rocket Stricknine 125 and a 125gr field point.

Now it's time to calibrate the sight tape.
