Default Group Tuning

I have recently seen various post that mention group tuning broadheads. I' ve been involved in bowhunting for quite sometime now and i' ve always been successful paper tuning my bows but have never group tuned one. I hate to sound like a idiot but to be honest i don' t have a clue as to group tuning a broadhead.[] If my broadheads are hitting differently than my field points i usually just move my sight pin to get my broadheads hitting where i want them to hit. Am i missing something here or doing something wrong? Could someone explain to me how you group tune your broadheads? Thank You!

Default RE: Group Tuning

MyKey,

I' d start out with good quality arrows and spin test your broadheads; make sure they all run true. I think group tuning isn' t necessarily the same as broadhead tuning if I remember correctly. Group tuning is probably more suitable when working with a target bow and broadhead tuning (or flight tuning broadheads) would be geared toward a hunting rig. All of that is pretty well spelled out here by Martin Archery (or in a similar guide by Easton Archery): http://www.martinarchery.com/manual/comp1.html

Read through that and see what you can do. Come back with some more specific questions if you have them and someone will be glad to try and help.

Good groups and consistency between broadheads and field points are pretty good indicators of a well tuned bow. There may be times where you cannot get broadheads and field tips to impact the same and good tight groups ARE acceptable. You already are reasonably sure your arrow launch is clean and true if you are paper tuning correctly. Your penetration and efficiecy should already be fine for hunting purposes, now you are ready to work on your accuracy downrange.

Learning techniques to get the most out of your equipment and finding the limits of your capabilities is what it"™s all about. Good luck on your journey!
