sounds like you need to tune your bow.
I'm not sure of the address but look at the easton site and you can download info on bow tuning, good luck mate :)
I'm sure someone here has the link

mate it could be a lot of things..what bow are u shooting,shafts etc,is ur bow in specs? tuned? have u paper tested etc...here is a tuning guide from easton,download this if u wish and have a good read..post some more info on what bow ur r using,poundage draw length,shafts field point weights etc,then im sure others on here will be able to help more..its not the broadheads,u can get any good two blade impacting with ur field points,if ur bow is in tuned,shafts are matched and ur broadheads are also tuned/spinning correctly....cheers pat :D

so your saying i can get my broadheads flying like field points or close to that with the same sights i use for target.
is 5 arrows in a cd sized circle from 20 meteres a big ask?

not with a bit of practice Rohan, you should be able to shoot groups like that.
and yes you should be able to get your feildpoints and broadheads hitting the same point.

thanks for the help so any broadhead should fly good? i'd say i'll be buying tusker spirits or black stump iron barks, are these a good choice for a bow between 45-50 pounds and a 28 inch draw length?

rohon,ill just give u my thoughts from my experience..i found the 115grain vented blackstumps fly extremely well,u need to ensure they are spinning correctly when u insert the adapters ..the 100grain ironbarks will be good as well...

i also like woodys 125g hunters,ive yet to try his supremes but i hav some on the way,and the others guys here do give them a good rap.

i use 24hr aradite,whilst some guys use hotmelt..i have a broadhead tuner i bought from cabelas,but ive seen some guys make them as well..depends how handy u r...heres a link so u know what they look like..
i have the dixon model.

in ref to blackstumps,i cut the tip back a fraction and bevel off the point,great if they hit bone..they are a tough head...u can contact blackstumps direct by email

once u have everthing tuned theres no reason for u not to be able to start cutting ur flights and nocks off at 20 meteres,,ull find u will go to 5 spots instead..a lot cheaper...all the best mate,hope we have all helped..cheers pat :D

If all else fails, go for mechanicals.
