Default RE: Broadhead Help!

Hunting Ed,
Nice website BTW

I'm glad you decided to stick with the fixed blade BH's. Don't be intimidated by tuning your own bow, get help and tackle it. I just returned from a hog hunt and before I went, I was determined to tune my bow myself. My problem was I refused to use mechanical heads, but fixed blade BH's would not group with my fieldpoints. I thought that the problem was the fixed blades. Many on here, (many of them have answered you) told me that if I got my bow tuned properly, that the fixed blades would group with the field points.

Well, believe them, and me, they will. I finally just tackled the problem and learned to tune it myself. I'll admit that it was very frustrating at times, but well worth it in the end!! My bow shoots every head now that I have tried, grouping any fixed blade with my field points. I am using the 90 grain Muzzy 4 blade and HIGHLY recommend them!!

BTW- some told me that you had to shoot quartering away on a boar because of the "gristle plates" on their shoulders. At 18 yards, the arrow made a complete pass-through through the shoulders. After skinning the pig, those gristle plates were 1 and 3/4" thick each. VERY tough to cut through with a good knife to get off of the hide, but those Muzzys went through them both without breaking or bending!

Good luck, Kev
