Default broadheads hitting lower than field points.

my 115 grain muzzys are hitting about 6 inches below my 125 gr. field points.
They are grouping well , just lower. Any tuning suggestions.

Personally....

I would raise the rest or lower the nock a TINY bit. Your broadheads will react more to the movement than you FP and hopefully you will be shooting both in the same hole with minimal adjustments.

Just curious....

Why a 115 gr. head with a 125gr. fp? I think the 115 is a 4 bld. You can get a muzzy 4bld 125.

It was just a matter of economics. I bought 10 packages of the 115 grains a few years ago at a " Going out of buisness" sale for ten bucks each. These used to hit
exactly like my field points out of my old PSE fire flite, but Im have trouble with my new one. I may go to the 125 grain when I run out of my 115' s to match my field points. I used to be able to find 115 grain field points.

Ditto what they said. Make very small adjustments and you should have no probs getting them to match up.
When I used to shoot muzzy' s, I shot the 115' s with 125 gr field pt' s with no problems either.

You really need to log onto Easton' s website and download their Tuning and Maintenance Guide. It' ll tell you step by step procedures on how to correct your problem. To help matters though why don' t you get some 115gr field tips?

go to a 125 gr head and use 5" fletching
sounds like to me you are using short fletching
