Default Another Tuning Question From A Newbie!

Hello again! Here with another question!

I was out shooting this morning and at 10 yards, my fields tips were right where i wanted them, but the bh's were a little down and to the right. I then shot at 20 yards and my ft's were dead on but my bh's were further down and and to the right! Does this mean I have to lower my nock point?

If you need to know, I shoot a hoyt powertec 60# with 27" draw length and beman black max 400 arrows at 9.6 gpi. They are 28" and topped with muzzy mx-4 100 grain bh's. Does that sound like a good bow/arrow match-up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

It sounds like you need to move your nock down slightly or your rest up slightly .
As far as your arrows they seem fine , maybe alittle stiff , you might try some 125 grain tips .

Before you spend too much time with that particular broadhead, you may want to shoot an MX-3 just to check and see where they're hitting.... You may have slight tuning discrepancies, but then again... you may not.

I did switch bh's and things are doing great. I went with the slick tricks!

Thanks everyone for your advice!!!!!!
