I was shooting my bow. and notices an drop between the practice points and broadheads. the broadheads where around 5 inches lower then the practice points. as an muzzleloader guy. I feel that was not right. shots where around 10 yrd due to I was sighting in an new sight.

Probably right, BC. Never thought about it that much.
I guess it's something I have to get over. With our bows (and I'm trying to figure out why it wouldn't be true with compounds), I think BH tuning should happen FIRST (after setting center shot nd nock height on compounds).
Several ways to skin a cat. Conceded.

It also depends alot on how much time, and what you are wanting your outcome to be. IF you are a knowledgeable perfectionist, you are going to get it all to the t etc. If you are just a typical bow hunter who is looking for 4-6" group accuracy out to 30 yards, you dont really need to get too in depth.
Personal preference and whatever works best for the individual imo.

I set my bow to shoot points and shoot points. I set my bow to shoot broad heads and shoot broad heads. My bow wont shot them both at the same point. If they did I would. You can't even force it too.
If I hit and kill what I'm aiming at I really don't care if they hit the same spot but I hear ya. Your thinking something isn't just right if they don't and you want it to be perfect. I look at my bh and my point and say to myself "they aren't even close to being the same expecting them to act the same isn't reality".
Experimenting isn't a waste of time!

You have something wrong with your tuning. I have never once set up a compound that doesnt shot both equal. That is if they are the same weight. You might check arrow tune on your broadheads. Also check spine. Id start all over tuning your bow. Once you have a head and arrow tuned, paper tune the bow. If everything is in tune, you should see no difference
