Default RE: Should I Practice with Broadheads or with field tips?????

I had a freind who said the pro shop paper tuned his bow yet his Bheads didn't have the same impact point as his fieldtips. I put up a piece of newspaper and check....well it wasn't tuned. He wen't back to the proshop and their excuse was he musta bumped it. They tued it again and charged him for it....I checked and it still wasn't tuned. I spent almost anhour getting perfect holes and then guess what? his Bheads had the same impact point as his fieldtips.

Apparently in their haste to make money they cheated him out of some. Either that or they used a centershot alignment and claimed itwas tuned.

Always check your own bow for good paper tears even if a proshop tunes it for you.

When I shot alums I had a cushion plunger rest and it tuned very fast and easy. I changed to carbons and could no longer use the cushion plunger and had to go to a prong style rest (NAP Quicktune) well.... it doesn't tune quick...it might be the narrow arrows that makes it hard...as a matter of fact it is sorta difficult compared to the cushion plunger. Yes, I do use a release, but the cushion plungeris an excellent rest if you use fat arrows.

This is just my opinion and doesn't mean diddly.
