I make sure my broad heads are tuned and they fly just like my field points. Also, a well tunned bow sould not have that much difference, that is if the arrow is tunned for your set up as well. I have not had problems with broad heads flying different than my field points since switching from thunder heads about 10 years ago. Every now and then, Id get a flyer with thunderheads. Ive never had a problem with slick tricks, Muzzy, orNAP fixed heads, or any mechanical.

Same here... When I shot Thunderheads, they always flew an inch or so low. No matter what. EVERY Thunderhead in the box flew like that. It was weird.... So when I chose to shoot them, I just compensated a bit and aimeda hair higher.

Nowadays with Magnus Stingers, Buzzcuts, and Slick Tricks, all of them are totally dead on with field tips. 10 yards, 15 yards, 20, 30, etc... I guess part of the fun is trying different arrows and broadheads to see which your bow prefers. ;)

Nothing beats being familiar with ones equiptment,last year I noticed some cracks in my limbs acouple of weeks before the wisco opener. Had to rent a bow since PSE wouldn't be able to replace the limbs in time for the season. Practiced hard, killed the buck you see in the picture. Practice ,practice ,practice. I shoot in my back yard and try to throw 30 arrows 5-6 times a week. As far as drawing your bow without an arrow nocked,an accidental release could be disastrous for the bow. You could get the item I saw at the pro shop. When they test the draw length they have an item that doubles as the release but only has a hook with no trigger no way to release it. I'm sure your pro shop can get you one
