Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

So I always have this problem with Muzzys. I can never get them to hit right with my field points. Since I haven't been working because of the car accident, I wasn't able to switch heads this year like I had planned.

This is at slightly less than 20 yards (roughly 18 paces) and its as close as I can get these Muzzys to hit with my field points.





What would you folks suggest doing to get them to hit closer? Move my rest? Which direction?

The help is definitely appreciated, as always.

WH, I had the same problem last year but now that my bow fits me and I got my arrows cut down to the proper size, my Muzzys (3 blade, 100 grain) are flying just as good as my field tips.

Of the three arrows sticking into your target, are the heads mixed or are they all Muzzys? Supposing they're mixed, is that a field tip in the bulls eye and are the other two Muzzys?

which arrow is which ? you should be able to go to easton archery and look at the tuning tips to get them flying together. i shoot 100 grain muzzy 3 blades and mx4's and they group right with my field tips. i also think there was a link on here a few days ago concerning this same problem. something about broadheads was the topic.

In my 10 plus years of shooting Muzzys I never once was concerned with them flying with my field points. My Muzzys through all my different bows hit an inch or so left and an inch or so right. More importantly is that every arrow tipped with a broadhead did this meaning they were grouping as tight as my field tips, just not with them....I simply adjusted the sight to zero them.

I should have mentioned it in my earlier post; the two on the right are field points, the one on the left is a muzzy.

Ive been shooting muzzys for a while and they seemto not hit where my fieldpoints do BUT the group very well like Rob said move your sight and hopefully it will fix the problem

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

never had luck with them...this year I bought a pack of Stingers. Screwed them on..hit three in a row in the bull and I was sold. They are dead on. BTW, that was not a bad group, but like I said...never had luck with the Muzzys flying.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Wash, I think this is a common misconception that broadheads should always impact in the same spot as field points. Many times a bow needs to be fine tuned to the broadheads. If they are hitting left, but grouping and flying well, adjust your sights as Rob said. But if they seem to be flying a little erratic then the bow must be retuned using the broadheads.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Good point, you can do that. I never liked shooting all summer and then having to move my sight. The Stingers allow me to keep my sights where they are and just shoot regardless. Just my pet peeve, but yeah, if they are hitting well just move it and have at it.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Exactly.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

FOCs are not the same for the broadheads and the field points. They should not hit exactly the same. With a great amount of effort you can get them reasonably close, but why? If your BHs are flying straight and grouping tight, sight in with BHs. For right handed people it is normal to be low left with BHs. Mine is usually 2" low left @ 20 yds amd 4" low left @40 yds.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

I'm the same way. I hate shooting my field points and having them driving tacks only to have to move my sights to adjust for my broadheads. I like to be able to shoot field points during season too to keep my shoulder in shape.

I guess I'll see if I can't get them to group with my field points better and if I can't I'll just move everything so the broadheads group well.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Or buy another sight just for broadheads.;)

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

I'm tellin ya...with the Stingers...I am EXACTLY the same...never thought it would be, but I am happy... out to 40.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Stingers are what I had planned on shooting this season. Doctor seems to think I'll be released from Physical Therapy by the end of this week, so I might be back to work in time to buy a half dozen for late archery.

My Muzzys and field points have always grouped the same, that is untill this year with my new Alegence. I'm left handed and the Muzzys grouped tight but 4" to the right and 1" high at 25 yards. Since they grouped tight I just adjusted the sights and shot through paper again to make sure the arrow flight wasn't effected by the broadhead.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

I woudlnt worry too much about that group but if you wish go ahead and move your sight to the left a bit, not much though, now when you shoot, your fp's will be about the same distance to the right and your bh's will be dead on. I never had any problems with my muzzys shooting like field points, untill this year when I got some new arrows now all my broad heads are shooting to the right about an inch, im simply going to adjust my sight to accomdate. After I try my new sonics i just got from my buddy at work, he had 4 and i should be getting one in the mail. so ill have 5.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Just move your sights and zero the BH, Then try your FP I'll bet they will be very close. Seems like I had the same thing happen. Just sight in the BH. FP dont need as much correction downrange. I think you'll be happy.

RE: Muzzys and Field Points -- Help!
 

Move your rest slightly to the left and it should even out nicely. Only move it in VERY small increments. Your vertical allignment looks good, I think the center shot is off just a little. Move back 20 yards and those bh's will be even farther left. Move the rest left in 1/8 inch increments and you will be grouping with the field tips in no time.
