Default RE: Do most of you??

Could someone explain how to tune a BH? I mean I have read things about making sure there is no wobble when you spin the arrow or that the vanes are aligned with the blades, but that's about all I know to do??
Before tuning for broadheads I do papertune but not like most. I will shoot a bare shaft threw paper at 5 then 10 yards. Bare shaft should be weighted the same as a fletched arrow. I wrap a few pieces of tape around the back since I shoot a dropaway. I'll get the left and right close but will concentrate more on the vertical to get it perfect.

After that I do walk back tuning only. I'll zero it in at 10 yards then shoot it at 40 then 60 yards (or less depending on your max effective range). If I need to make an ajustment (arrow rest), I'll rezero it at 10 yards and repeat the process until I'm hitting the same left and right.

Now for broadheads I'll do the same thing. Verify zero at 10 yards and then go shoot at 40 and 60. At this point make only very small adjustments to fine tune left and right.

Vertical should be good. If not, you could go back and shoot a bare shaft through paper to verify you have no vertical tare. If that's good and arrow flight looks perfect, I'd just make a minor adjustment to the sight pin and call it good.

At this point all you have to do is fine tune your sight pins for the other yardages.
