RE: Arrow Flight different with broadheads vs. field points

You have too much time on your hands my friend. I know you must love to see yourself in print as you pontificate aimlessly.
I am in agreement with Len. When I have some time, I will figure out how to upload video and I will post some high speed video of research that we have done with our shooting machines. I think you will find it more interesting and more informative than simply quoting Bob Ragsdale. Our machine shot research also bears out when hand shooting.
Though we have done research on endless combinations, try taking some properly spined ACCs for the bow you are shooting and set them up with 4 inch feathers and a Muzzy 90 gr. 4 blade broadhead (a terrific and deadly head) and group tune for your best groups at 70 meters. Then shoot for best groups with field points. Tell me how many thousands of and inch you had to move your rest vertically and horizontally. Then tell me how far your groups landed from each other.
Have fun! We do.
