How do you tune a broadhead?
 

Well I went to Sportmens Warehouse last night to get my bow tuned. Its shooting perfect bullet holes and i can hit practically hit an asprin from 20 yards with my field tips. Then when i put on broadheads the same crap keeps on happening. I tried the two blade magnus stinger, thunderhead, and a montec and they are all shooting about 4-5 inches high and 4-5 inches right. Can ya'll please help before i pull my hair out?

If you truly do have your bow tuned well for field points, then I would suggest that you go to www.slicktrick.net and order some broadheads. When I got mine, Gary told me that if I liked them to send a check to him and if not to send them back. He may not always do business quite that way, but he will refund your money without any questions if you aren't satisfied. I had shot several heads, including Thunderheads as the last one and had gotten some mechanicals because I had the same problem you do. I put on a Slick Trick and it hit right in the center of my field point group all of the way to 50 yards. My son, and my shooting partner had the same results with them.

Very good chance you have the wrong spine arrows.
A perfectly tuned bow will not shoot the wrong spine with broad heads the same as field points.

Check your arrow spine... it changes sometimes when you put your broadheads on, your basically adding lenth to your arrow.turn your bow down a couple of turns to see if your results change...

I shoot goldtip pro hunter 5575. Should i go with the 7590?

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
 

We need lots more info... like draw weight, lenght of arrow, draw length, broadhead weight etc etc etc. Are the broadheads grouping? Your bow is NOT in tune. Group tune if they broadheads group.

Thanks for the tip Cubdriver "www.slicktrick.net."I've been looking for some good boadheads.

I would agree with davidmil. I don't think your bows tuned. I have shot the G5's and T-Heads and they group tight with the fieldtips, especially the G5's. Before I got my bow tuned all the way they both were flying left and down. What type of rest are you using?

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
 

Try removing a blade ?!? Something tells me that may not be the answer you are looking for. I'm with the rest of the guys, check everything else over on your bow to see if it is where it needs to be. I would guess there is something adjusted improperly causing your problem. Are your blades lined up with your feathers/vanes? If all else fails let me know, I'll invent a broadhead tuner, sell millions of them, quit my job and just hunt and make posts on here so I can become a *&$%(! SPIKE. I'm tired of being a FAWN!

download the easton tuning guide, follow the section about broadhead tuning.

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
 

Thats what I was thinking. Ive got to where all I do is spin test my broad heads. If they have no wobble, I take them to the field. I do test a broad head before I switch to a different brand, but after that, i just spin test them . Never let me down yet.

I doubt Sir you bow was tuned rightin the first place


If you are shootign over 60# you need to be Shootign Gold Tip 75/95s

Strip an arrow down to bare shaft no vanes Start at 6 feet not 6 yards & work back
Bale must be soft non directional no cardbaord or layers sideway Pure ethafoam works best

Forget paper tuning, its a fast way to get guys out of a Pro shop.

After you are tuned and your barearrow is going in dead straight at 6 feet go to 12 feet then 18 feet etc

Then when you bow is tuned right, then & only play with broadheads. For accuracy try to Slick Tricks 4 blade all steel heads

I've shot both the 5575 and the7595 with 100 thunderheads out of my 70# hoyt. The 5575 hits 2-3" right of the other. Haven't put an 85grn. head on yet, but believe it will bring it closer to the other (there's no difference with FP's). Your not tuned or your not a good enough shooter to determine it. I think your just not tuned yet and a 125 is too heavy unless your using a 5" vane. With that heavy head your causing the 5575 shaft to flex a great dealto get that head going, a 7595 would work better with a 125 head, it's stiffer. Adding weight to the rear end will offset the effect.I shoot the 7595, but my bow is 70#. If a 5575 won't do a 60# bow GT's got some problems.

Shouldn't be that far off of FP's, (2" max at 40 yrds.)but IMO I see no reason they have to shoot the same as a FP as long as they hit what I'm aiming at.

FWIW Once you get it shooting well and your sure of it, don't stop there.Trying changing things one at a time and you'll know for future ref. the effect things have.

Sometimes, even though you have your field tips paper tuned, you need to group tune. This group tuning converges the impact point of your field tips and your broadheads. Stand @ 20 yards and shoot your field tips, then your bh's. If your bh's are to the left, make micro adjustment to the rest(move to the right). Then shoot the same system again and move the rest accordingly. I prefer the walk back tuning method for field tips. I've found that it may not be a perfect bullethole thru paper, but it'll be very close!!

You don't tune a broadhead, you tuna fish. (sorry just had to say it)

But spine definitely sounds like the problem.

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
 

Talondale, then why do thunderheads come with a paper that says how to tune the broadhead?

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
 

Patriot15, the first line wasa joke. :D

The second line, spine, was my serious answer. Try what Tink said. He's been shooting bows longer than the two of us (I would say "have been alive" but I'm getting up there in age) and knows what he's talking about.

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
 

Someone has to say it, inspite of what's been said, paper tuning is a great place to start. It is a valid method of getting your bow tuned to a point. Bare shaft testing is the method that's taken a hit the past few years. It was really more a method of tuning traditional equipment for finger shooters. There is no need to go through all that really. If your arrows are grouping with both broadheads and field points but impacting differently, it's only a matter of the smallest of adjustment to the GROUPS to get them hitting the same place. If the spine was that far wrong you wouldn't be grouping.OK to have a spine that's a littel stiff. Weak is a killer of groups. I just really question your weak spine grouping???? Try throwing on a lighter head and see what happens.
