Default RE: broadhead that flies like a field tip?

FIRST AND FOREMOST.....
Just because a BOW is paper-tuned at 5 ft, don't mean it will shoot well out to 70yds. Paper-tuning is just one form of tuning. And what your have is a TUNING problem. If your BH's are that far away from your FP's, assuming they spin TRUE, you've got a tuning problem. Slick Tricks are the BEST flying BH I've shot, and "NO, I'm not a FANBOY," just willing to share that info to HELP you out.

If you're BH's consistently shoot where you say they do, then you need to RE-TUNE your bow, raise your rest or lower your nock-point, and move the rest a little. You can't tell me your bow is different than the last 4 I've had that I've got to shoot Broadheads right close to FP's, it just ain't so. AND, if you were shooting with a TRULY knowledgeable crowd, one of your "buddies" would have set you straight on this. Tuning a bow to shoot BH's CLOSE to FP's is a little tedious, especially if you don't have a GOOD rest and a good place to do it, but it's not that difficult.

And for the record, the QUIVER shouldn't make that much difference, I've never noticed much on any bow I've shot.

I have`nt tried shooting broadheads without the quiver on,I want the same scinario I hunt with.

and

Oh it makes a huge differance,with only two arrows in my quiver the side torque will throw it inches to the left at only 20 yards,I would loose arrows at 70 yards without adjusting,something to pay attention to if you take your quiver off in the stand.
If you hunt from a stand it makes perfect sense to hang the quiver on the tree and shoot the bow WITHOUT the quiver on, as MANY of us do, but again, the QUIVER AIN'T gonna make that much difference!!!!

THIS is a big bunch of COMPLETE UTTER "BS!!!!" If the quiver makes that much difference, the problem is in the guy behind the bow or the tuning of the bow, NOT THE BOW or the BH!!!!


For ME....I care verylittle about paper tuning my bow for BH's.
Jeff,
Good point. Most guys think that if their bow is paper-tuned it's TUNED and that's all there is to it, and they are WRONG. I don't/won't paper-tune, because it does nothing for me. I do a walk-back, and then slap some BH's on to fine tune, adjuct rest-height/nock-point, and fine-tune the center-rest. The last time I tried to paper tune, I had my nock-point WAY high, and it through EVERYTHING off, I went back to what I know, and was back to archer's minute of angle 3-4" groupings at 40yds.
