Default RE: Arrow Flight different with broadheads vs. field points

Fletchhead,I agree with most of what you said but I disagree that a broadhed is hitting lower because of foc.I keep my foc the same and it still hits low at 40.Not much,only an inch, but it is low.The reason is there is just more surface area on a broadhead and that increases drag and that in turn will make it lose downrange velocity.Therefore making it shoot low.


I aparently don' t think it is as critical to have the both hitting the same but I do agree that they should be close.I think the individual broadheads will affect the outcome.Some broadheads will just fly better than others.IMO the ones that fly more like fieldpoints are better.


If my bow is group tuned,paper tuned,bare shaft tuned and is shooting at its optimum with field points and you screw on broadheads and are hitting a 3" circle at 40 yards consistantly then I would say that is not anywhere near a middle of the road setup.That is a darn good setup that is the most efficient and the most forgiving a person could ask for.That isn' t possible with all broadheads,bows or shooters but if evrything is good then that is just what happens.IMHO[8D]
