everbody that shoots shockwaves?
I wanted to try shockwaves this year instead of the steelheads I used last year. the steelheads were excellent little heads and performed flawlesly. they shot exactly like my field points, and I got passthroughs on my deer.
I bought a 3 pac of shockwaves and I took 1 out of the package to see how close they shot with my field points. NOT GOOD! they were 3-4" to the left of where my field points have been shootin. elevation was fine. I had to adjust my sights to the left a tad. everbody that I know, say their shockwaves shoot the same place as their fieldtips. it even says that' s gauarnteed on the box.[8D]
Has anybody else had this problem with their shockwaves not shootin with their points?

i shot shockwaves last year you have to tune ur bow a little bit from field tips but not much, i liked how they performed i shot a doe with them it was a straight pass through and hit both lungs and sliced a main artery where it enters the heart.

They group very well with my field points and my muzzy 3 blades. I don' t shoot at the same spot with broadheads. so I' m not sure if they are stacking, but I don' t adjust with them. So far the shockwaves have landed me two bears and a caribou.

MD, I like the steelheads, but I wanted a broadhead with a little wider cut. the shockwave is about 1/8" wider, not much, but it should make a little difference as far as cuttin a little bigger hole.
thanks ya' ll, I thought maybe it was just me.

I am thinking of useing the Shock Waves this season.Anyway to shoot one or 2 of them without destroying them ??.From what you guys are saying, it sounds like they might not hit where my field points do,so I will sight in with them.[:-]
