Default Switchback Broadheads

I dont know if anyone else has this problem, but I am shooting a Switchback with a 29.5, 70 pound draw and can only shoot Nap Spitfire 3 blade broadheads. I am shooting 100 grains and have tried my Muzzy 100's and the G5's, but both shoot a quarter inch group 6 inches to the left of the target at 20 yards. My practice points are dead on out to 60, but my broadheads are always flying left. My friend advised me to try the Nap Spitfire's and the shot excellent. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I shoot a switchback also.I shoot bacon skinners 75grn with 1 inch cut or rocket mini blaster xl they are mech and have a 1 inch and three quarter cut when open.I couldnt get any broadheads to shoot like practice arrows either.I am no authority on this just a guy trying to not loose hogs and deer when I shot them because of blood trail

I shoot a Mathews LX and use the Spitfires 125 grn. I love them. I couldn't tell you about the other broadheads. All I have to say is that you won't be dissappointed with the Spitfires. They left gapping holes in the 2 deer I shot last year. The blood trail of the doe I shot was insane. There was blood all over the place and she only ran 20 yards before crashing. Those broadheads are super sharp and fly as true as your field points.

I woud say you need to paper tune that switchback and make sure you are showing bullet holes. Just my opinion but my magnus stingers shoot right with my field points. I bet it is not the broadhead.

I would definately make sure that your bow is tuned properly. I also shoot the Switchback and I shoot the G5's and Slick Tricks and they fly right with my field points!!
