Well I ask b/c I have my bow tuned perfectly with FPs and I really need to know if I need to retune with BH, the less I have to mess with the better off I am.

More than likely you will have to fine tune it for broadheads, unless you are just really luckyand they fly the same right off the bat,but you don't have to paper tune it again.

so if I shoot my BH and they fly about an 1' or 2" off, do I need to make adjustments to the rest or just move the sight to fix it??

If you are shooting a good hole now, I would think all you should have to do is tune your BH to your arrows if are shooting fixed blades. I have never shot BH through paper once the bow itself had been tuned. Good question!

If you are getting a real bullet hole with your field points, you should be ok. I tuen mine with field points, then screw on my broadheads, Slick Tricks, and I'm good, they fly right where they are supposed to. I haven't had to make any adjustments specific to my broadheads, bullet holes with field points equals graet broadhead flight, for me anyway.

Could someone explain how to tune a BH? I mean I have read things about making sure there is no wobble when you spin the arrow or that the vanes are aligned with the blades, but that's about all I know to do??
