Default Broadheads and Field Points

I have been shooting my bow alot but my broadheads and field points always fly different. I was talking to someone and they said to move your arrow rest to match your broadhead to your field point. This just made my broadhead shoot good and the field point shoot WAY off. Is it even possible to shoot your field points and fixed blades the same without moving your sites or rest?

Yeah, not nly is it possible but I never have any problem doing so. It's all in knowing how to tune your equipment and taking the time to do so. Like anything else in lfe the more you do it the more you understand it and it becomes easier---and more precise.

Try www.eastonarchery.com and download their Tuning Guide. Print all 37 pages so you have a hard copy. Read it and use it.

Also dont forget to resight the bow with field points after you make any movements with the rest or nocking point.

Arrow spine is a huge part,as is formin getting the broadheads and field points to hit the same.

Once you have gotten the proper spine and form,the rest will come much easier.

I was the one who recommended she move her rest 1/16" to the left to start. Her arrows are spined correctly, and her form is pretty good.

we'll get ya dialed in

dont forget that perfect tuned bow is not all you need. you need to be really good with your form.

It is a far greater possibility that the arrows are not tuned than the bow being out of tune, though both are likely. In my opinion, spine is most likely to be incorrect and the reason most have trouble getting similar POI out of their broadheads. Choosing an arrow configuration off a chart seldom results in a perfect match.
