Sighting in with field tips and broadheads.
 
Is it normal for your field tips and broadheads to hit differently. i dont get the same accuracy. so do i resight my bow in with the broadheads? want to make sure i am good. any help would be great

yes. i shoot my fieldpoints till about a week before the season. then if i have 6 broadheads i will use one set for practice. NEVER shoot your practice broadhead at an animal. use new ones

just shoot your broadhead, see where it hits, the sight it in for that

"NO!!!"

You can usually adjust things a little to get both FP's and BH's hitting near same Point of Impact.... Read this thread from Archerytalk, it's first page is well worth your time..... http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=539460.

In very small increments, move the rest towards where you want the BH's to go until you are at same POI. Also BH's will "exaggerate" any form flaws, so shooting BH's usually results in a little larger variation in group size.

in my experience just shot mechanicals or small bladed broadheads....because the bigger the blades the more the blades wanna act like vanes

Might wanna giveSlick Tricks a try. I didnt have to re-tune my bow for them, they fly just like my fp

It can be, but if you have space to shoot, your just as well off to shot some FP's and some BH's, and see where they hit and start tweaking!!!!!! I've seen quite a few "paper-tuned" bows that needed "re-tuned" to shoot BH's!!!
