RE: Broadhead Accuracy
 

I shoot all year long at least 2 -3 days a week. I would NEVER shoot at a deer past 30 yards. I practice out to 60 with good results.

RE: Broadhead Accuracy
 

Make sure your bow is properly tuned. Get it timed. Have your "instructor" friend help you, or go to a pro shop. Make sure you're correctly spined for the #'s you're shooting. Group tune after paper tuning. Paper tuning ONLY shows that you're bow/arrow are primarily set. Group tuning dials everything in.

After that think of only two words...effective range.

Many fall into a rut of shooting at game "past" their effective range resulting in lost/wounded game. Don't allow yourself to fall into that rut.

Most of all, have fun. Once your bow is tuned and bh's are grouping well, your confidence level will sky rocket.

Good luck

yes your heads can be off that much if you haven't tuned your bow to for them to fly together. Most of the time its fairly easy to do so, following eastons tuning guide. Occasionally it just doesn't quite work out.

Generally I think beginner bowhunters should tend to keep thier shots on the shorter range, conservative side. Practice out as far as you want, it builds confidence. Keep the shots at game to under 30.

RE: Broadhead Accuracy
 

practice at whatever range you are comfortable. i shoot broad heads 90% of the time. i shoot 4 arrows into a 2 inch group at 40 yards i have no problems taking a deer at that range ( and have on several occasions). if i had another pin and could group the same i would shoot that far as well. practice at longer ranges. it will make you more confident at shorter distances. you just need to be 100% sure of the shot before you take it because once the arrow is released there is no do over in hunting.
