broadhead tuning

[Chad]

in the easton guide for tuning broadheads it says to shoot a few arrows with field points then shoot a few broadheads and depending on where they land adjust either the nocking point or rest until they are shoting at the same spot. My queiry is if you've tuned your arrows to fly well with field point using the easton guide and you have youre nocking point and rest in the perfect spot when you move it to get youre broadheads shooting at the same spot arn't you reverting back to imperfect arrow flight? Wouldnt you be better off just adjusting youre sights only? can someone please clear this up for me. cheers.

If the broadheads have a different impact point than the field points, it is obvious that the broadhead has slightly different requirements........requiring retuning/ tweaking to achieve perfect flight for broadheads.

Perfect field point tune is the starting place, perfect broadhead flight is the aim.....lol

What perfect tune are you trying to achieve, field point...... or broadhead?

Yer i thought so too, it sounds so dumb. If you wanted to keep both of them in tune then try changing whats on the actual arrow.
Your best bet would be to experement with a few different broadheads and maby even a few different types of arrow.
But as we all know that is where money comes in to make everything a pain in the...

try swapping some of your broadheads around on your arrows becasue some fly ok then some dont, if you know what i mean

Perfect arrow tune is more likely to show with broad heads than field points.

When a broad head leaves the rest with the tip not centrally aligned with the shaft axis the blade acts like a rudder, having a steering effect on the arrow.

Field point tuning is only the first step, as a field point has minimal drag through the air a slight mis-tune won't show up any problems as the fletching will readily pull the shaft into axial alignment.

When you do the fine tuning to get all arrow heads to group, your accuracy will be better with all properly aligned heads at any distance and any fletching will have a better effect on whatever head you decide to use.

ok so, what position do you place the broadhead in relation to string.
in line with the string ie vertical, or just chuck it on and see what happens.

i am not a huge fan of fixed broadheads, as i have only been really successfull with teken mech broadies.

Hi
I use carbon express 60 75 and 125 grain field points and outback hunter broad heads and i have them flying near the same out to 70 mtrs then it might be me lol:P i also use 130 grain supreams there just as good

chad. I am much the same as redzone i use outback hunters and they fly the same as my field points
