Broadhead question
I'm having trouble finding broadheads that shoot accurately with my setup. My arrows are swriling and tend to hit far left consistently, is there anything I can do to tweak them or do I just keep experimenting with different types? Any insight would be appreciated, Thanks!!

same thing with me, so i just sight in my bowwith my montec g5s, because in the end thats what you want them to shoot like any way, and when you practice with feild tips as long as you group good it wont matter.

RE: Broadhead question
It sounds like your bow isn't tuned properly. Take it to your local shop and have them take a look at it. They will probably paper tune it for you there, and make the needed adjustments. If your bow is tuned properly i dont know then. It could be that the grain broadhead isnt right for your setup. I'm sure some more knowledgeable guys on here can give you more information.

If the arrows are indeed swirling, something is out of tune. Get your bow in tune and they should at least fly straight, maybe not to the same point of impact as the field points but they have to fly straight first.

RE: Broadhead question
Most likely you have rest contact. Another thing commonly is clothing contact. Try shooting with clothing which will not contact your string on release. Then try your baggy hunting type. Your broadhead flight will be magnified much worse then a field point. If your draw length is slightly to long you might be able to slap your bow arm. It might not be noticeable but happens alot. Another thing to try would be to rotate a broadhead a little at a time to improve point of impact. Once you find where it hits the best match all heads to be the same.
