RE: broadhead that flies like a field tip?
This sounds almost exactly like what I do
ORIGINAL: GMMAT
I may be all wrong, here.....but I don't think of it as "gripping" my bow. I'm allowing the bow grip to rest agaisnt the right spot on the inner part of my palm......the extension of my thumb(if you will). My fingers only rest on the front of the riser...because that's where they are most comfortable....and it assures me of no tension in my bow hand.
The "force" of holding the bow is applied by the fact that I'm at full draw. I don't "grip" my bow.
I hope this makes sense....and if not...I'm gonna learn something

I hope you weren't referencing me.....because I didn't say that.
I can`t imagine centering the grip in my palm,

RE: broadhead that flies like a field tip?
Try this. Put a small dot at the top of your target. Then, tape a strait line down the lenth of the target. Shoot a group with the 20 yd pin at the dot.Assuming it groupedon the dot,then shoot a group from 30 YARDS USING YOUR 20 YARD pin again. Shoot another group from 40 yards USING YOUR 20 YARD pin again. If all groups are notON the line progressively lower down the target, you have a tuning issue with the rest and it will need to be moved side to side. ie: if the groups wander farther and farther from the line from the farther distances you need to adjust the rest.

I may have mis-spoke there,I can`t imagine centering the grip in my palm,actually the area you spoke of between the thumb and index,but more on the left side of thethumb muscle,I don`t let the bow fall away after release though,I do own a sling but don`t use it because I dont let the bow fall away.

RE: broadhead that flies like a field tip?
Like I originaly stated I`m hitting a little 2 inch bullseye at 70 yards with the fbh now,so I really hate to go messing with the bow at this point,I could use a new string but with 3 weeks till opener,I`m not touching anything.
Since adjusting the sight to the left with the quiver on all my pins are perfect left and right,after that I just had to adjust the hight of the pins,it only took a couple hours to go from 20-70.
My avatar is actually me but I had just drawn and that`s not an accurate depiction of my grip when I release,it looks like a death grip I know.

......the fact that you're hitting your target from ANY distance only tells me you've masked a serious tuning problem.

Let me ask you something......
Explain to me WHY they were hitting "differently" than your FP's....when everyone is telling you that it's impossible for that to occur WITHOUT a tuning issue being present (especially to that magnitude).
