Help....my bow doesnt like broadheads!
Or at least the first two I tried. I got my Magnus Stingers today and put them on my GT's. Shot a few fields to warm up, grouping them within a golf ball as always. I shoot the Magnus's and they are all over the place. Not one arrow fell within 5 inches of the other. I shot another flight, same thing. I go inside, put on my Wasp SST Hammers, and go out. Same thing, only the grouping was a little better. I pull out the paper, and at 10yds was getting perfect tears. Back to the target and the same thing is going on I move the pin a little, which helps slightly, but not much. I paper a field, and it tears great. Back to the target, now I am shooting a field then two broadheads. Every field point was in the bulls, and the other two broadheads never even came within three inches of each other, though they were at the right height, just hittin left.
My question is this, and I know I have only tried two heads (SlickTricks on backorder), but can a bow just flat out not like shooting broadheads?
Mechanicals?
Thanks for the advice in advance!

No, you can get any bow to group BH's as good as field points. They may not group in the same spot (although a well tuned bow will often group FP's and BH's together) but if your shooting tight groups, just move your sights a little to the left to compensate and you'll be fine.

Ill definetly be able to hit damn near the bullseye, that is for sure with some adjusting, but they just arent grouping as tight as I would like.
Would there be any tuning issue that the paper wouldn't pick up?

Try walk back tuning. You can do a search on here or google. I think ButchA did a nice write up on walkback tuning you might be able to find.

It shows a good visual of what walk back tuning can show you.

10 yrds is too far for the paper. Go 5 - 10' to check your tuning. Then try your target at 20yds, 27yrds and 33 yrds. Make sure you still dead on all at all the distances and your arrows are flying right. My guess is your just a hair off of being tuned. I just went through this last week but did fine tuning after getting close with the paper method. My bow is shooting great now.

Thanks for the advice boys. Come to think of it, there is something else fishy going on. When I shot at 10 yards at the paper, my arrow was hitting under where I was aimed with the 20 pin. For example, I aimed at the spot I had on the paper, assuming my arrow would hit high...instead, they all hit low, and I was aiming dead on at 10 yds with the 20 pin.
Sounds fishy...maybe I do need more tuning...
