Default RE: Broad heads vs Practice tips

Thanks for the clarification, jd... I think this statement is what gave some of us cause for concern:

However, if your bow is shooting really good and you don't want to mess with fine tuning for broadhead flight, try Rage broadheads.
I think it was everyone's interpretation of what you meant by "fine tuning"... your following statement is much clearer and explains it better. I know sometimes it's a pain to have to write everything out in so much detail, and I'm guilty of it myself sometimes.

But, when I am tuning a bow to shoot fixed blade broadheads, I tune it for the best shot groupingI can get. When I get to where Iam shaving fletchings at 20, 30, and 40 yards I leave it alone. If that tune does not hit exactly the same as my field points, so be it. All I was saying to the postedquestion was that even a well tuned bow may notimpact broadheads exactly the same as field points, but they will be close. If you don't wantthe aggrevation of fine tuning that final inch or so (most people can't shoot well enough to tell there is an inch difference) use not just any mechaincal but a Rage that cuts asgood as a fixed blade.
I know we all just didn't want to have someone misinterpret your first statement as giving the ok to shoot a mech out of a poorly tuned bow, or -- as I've seen often times -- out of a bow that's not tuned at all.
