Default Will all broadheads tune if.....

I was wondering if you tune a bow to shot fixed blades right with your field points will all fixed blades that don't have a bigger cutting diameter tune as well, or do you have to tune for each head? The reason I asked was because a while back there was a post "Whats in your Quiver" and some people had three different fixed blades in their quiver.

I would think that it is a matter of shooting to find out. Thunderheads and Muzzy shoot same and rockies abit high for me.
Belive the shorter broadhead keeps the F.O.C. back were the field point is.

For the most part once my bow is tuned and ready It will shoot most any fixed blade head well, it takes a bit of time, but the results are worth it.

I'm with 5 shot all the way on this one. As long as the BH is straight on the arrow, it hits in the same spot as my BHs. And, it doesn't matter what brand I use.

BTW, I forgot to mention that the nock end of the arrow has to be straight as well. With carbon arrows, this can be a major problem that is overlooked by most.

Even one of my best technicians overlooked the nock end the other day when BH tuning a customer's bow. Once we found the problem, it reminded us as to how we constantly have to stay alert.
