Default Broadhead sighting in vs. field tip question

Hi all,

I have a question for you...

This year, I bought a Switchback XT. I love the bow and grouped the shots well. When I attached by 100 gr. broadheads, My shots all went to the right 6 inches and down 6 inches. I tried two different broadheads and achieved the same result.

I have read that this may be due to a weak spine on my arrows. (I use Easton Carbon Aeros). Is this correct? My broadheads group, so I am able to re-sight and use no problem.

Is there anything else I should look at or is this just a tendancy of attaching broadheads to the arrow.

For the record, I have my bow set at 67lbs.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Broc

Default RE: Broadhead sighting in vs. field tip question

the way i see it is if the arrows are grouping consistent out to 20-30 yardsthatsa good thing....just adjust your sights and kill the deer....arrow spine is a touchy subject...if your comfortable with the arrows...use them. until its time to get a new dozen and maybee try something different.
