Switching to hunt setup
#1
I am setting up my arrows with BH's and going to shoot them primarily from now to season opener. IF I need to adjust accessories on my bow, such as sights, should I set them in to my most accurate shooting and not replace with field tips. I have to adjust higher and left for my BH flight, while my FP's are dead on.
I have a dozen with field tips and a half dozen set for hunting. Should I hang up my FP's until Im done hunting? Its just slight adjustments to my sights, but I dont want to, nor do I need to practice anymore with FP's.
Am I on the right track?

My arrows, regardless of fp's or bh's have really no difference withing 20 yrds. When I step back to 30-40 yrds my bh's are low and left. If I adjust for the bh at 30-40, my fp's are off. Since Im setting up for hunting at this point, stiffer shaft with BH's. I really dont need a bullseye with fp's as Im already dialed in on them. My fp's and bh's are almost identical at 20, so if I want to just practice, I could use my fp's at 20. My hunting arrows will be using 125 muzzy's and are a size stiffer than practice arrows.
Its not a huge adjustment, but does this sound correct to be off beyond 30-40. I would like to dial my bh's in for 30-50 yrd ranges.
What is everyone doing? Just practicing with BH's and no fp's?

You can't tune your bow to two different arrows and expect them to hit the same. You can't actually tune your bow to two different arrows.
You need to pick one and tune your bow to it (arrow).

Why are you using a stiffer arrow than what you’ve been shooting? If you are going to use a completely different arrow you need ot completely re-tune your setup. Why can’t you put BH’s on the arrows you are shooting with the FP’s?

My guess is he's going to shoot a heavier BH than he's been shooting FP's.

With a BH on my 5575's they are not accurate beyond20 yrds without tuning and adjusting sites. Once I have my hunting rig set up and dialed in, I guess practicing with the 5575s at 20 yrds will be my max, since i will be changing (resetting) my sites for the new arrows with bh's. The 5575's are 8.6 gr/in and the 7595 are 10.2 gr/in. Is this much of a weight difference?
I know its hard to describe, but with a heavier arrow and 100 grain BH I am anticipating a large difference with my sites. So my practicing is done until I set up with new arrows and BH
