I have tried and tried to explain (even through video links) to this individual that you CAN fine tune your bow/rest so that your BHs and FT hit the same POI. He believes that you must sight in for your broadheads as there is no way they will impact the target the same as field tips.
Can anyone else provide their imput on this subject?
Dang brother I misunderstood your PM and thought you were talking about tuning an arrow to broad head, as far as Field Tips and Broad shooting the same. If a bow is tuned properly they should fly the same however; depending on weather conditions a fixed blade broad fly can be greatly effected by the weather. The blades are more sensitive to wind and heat thermos, than a Field Tip. However a field tip and a mechanical should always fly the same depending if they are the same weight.
Much like an aircraf being effected by the wind; we all know that larger wings will be effected more than a smaller wing aircraft, and a lighter air craft will be effected more than a heavy aircraft.. One reason I shoot super heavy for hunting. (over 540 gn.s) total arrow weight.
I have different bows set up for various things, one for 3D in which I normally shoot an arrow with field tip weighing around the 400 grain area, also with different sights. For hunting I will use a broad head that is at least 150 more grains than my 3D bow and use different sights, stabilizer, but I can tell you that all of my bows are perfectly tuned.
