Default RE: Detuning

Very interesting discussion by people who obviously have more experience and expertise than I have. I have heard the "compromise tune" argument many times by guys who feel that getting the same impact point with broadheads and field points is some kind of compromise. I guess that may be true when shooting fingers, I'm not sure. I suppose it could be true with a release. I still can't fathom getting better broadhead accuracy than you can get if you get the cleanest, straightest possible launch of a broadhead tipped arrow to eliminate planing. If you get that, what could make the field point shoot someplace else? I've yet to get any type of satisfactory answer to that one (at least when we are discussing release shot bows.) Len in Maryland is the most knowledgeable person on this topic I have ever met. He seems to think that bare shaft/fletched field point/fletched broadhead all hitting in the same place is a good thing. I guess I can be glad that my two favorite hunting areas will only give me a 20 yard shot at the max distance. Going to spend more time worrying about scent control for next year.
