Default RE: Broadhead tuning

Broadhead tuning and paper tuning are 2 different things and will have 2 different results .

I like to hunt , and shoot fixed broadheads , broadhead tuning is the litmus test for me , paper tuning a waist of time , havent done it since I learned it was a useless exersise .


Broadhead tuning ,

If, you , your bow , and your arrow are close to being tuned when you move your rest slightly left to right , your field tipped arrow will move slighlty on the target but the broadhead tipped arrow "of the same weight" will move in the same direction but a futher distance , say at twenty yards the field point arrow moves 2 inches , the broadhead tipped arrow "should" move 4 inches in the same direction . Same for vertical movement .If your bow is not tuned well , If you are over bowed , if your arrows dont spine match your bows power very closely or are too weak of a spine , and your form is not consistant , good grip , consistant , and so on , broadhead tuneing will give you fitts .
