Are you sure your using the same weight broadhead as your practice points? I shoot 100 grain three blade muzzy's and they shoot groups like my field points.........dabow

Yea 100 gr

Eastons tuning guide says if broadheads hit high compared to the field tips then raise the knocking point to get the broadheads to come down.

Down load the easton tuning guide.

Take the time to tune your bow. If you have an arrow matched to your draw length and poundage, some fine tuning is all that's needed. Bare shaft tuning is the quickest and most accurate way to fine tune. Make sure you have 2 fletched arrows and 1 without any fletching at all. Set up around 15 yards from your target and shoot the two fletched arrows and then the bare shaft. You want the bare shaft to impact dead center and just a bit low. (1/4 to 1/2" low) If the arrow impacts high, the nock set is low. Loosen your nock set just enough to turn it on the serving. like a nut on a bolt. You want to go up if the bare shaft hits high and down if the bare shaft is low. Then shoot the same sequence, two fletched one bare shaft until the bare shaft inpacts as described above. Now, if you are below the fletched arrow but off to one side or the other you must adjust your center shot by moving your rest the opposite direction of the impact. ie: impact right, move rest left. Once you have the bare shaft impacting with the fletched group, lock in your rest and nock set. Attach your broadhead and I guarentee you will impact with your field tips. Oh, another guy ask me why you want the bare shaft to impact low? When the fletching is attached, the arrow will impact eaxctly the same point as the others.
Good Hunting;)

Thanks that helped alot!

No matter what you want to know where your broadheads are hitting, don't worry about your field tips anymore, it's deer season. sight it back in for field tips next spring. When you practice now with field tips aim high, to hit where your broadheads are, better yet just shoot broadheads.

So the bare shaft will hit lower than the fletched arrows. Does it matter where the fletched arrows hit?

Download this tuning guide from Easton it has paper and bare shaft tuning info in it.

I agree with ol hunter except for one thing. When your set up is not tuned properly you lose speed and, depending on yardage to your target, penetration. If your arrow is porpoising, (up and down) or fishtailing, (side to side) your speed and penetration will suffer substantially. Say your at 20 yards and you have a porpoising problem. If you nock end is on the upward travel when it impacts the target, approximately 45% of your kinetic energy is directed to the nock end. Walla, poor penetration. On longer shots the arrow has time to correct with the fletching stabilizing the shot. Did you ever hear one of your buddies say: I was only a 15 yard shot but it didn't pass through the deer" This is why! If you have the time, do it right and you'll not only have a tuned setup, but your confidence with be as tuned as your bow.

Trapper Hunter,

If you are shooting aluminum arrows, the quickest way to trash them is do the bare shaft test unless the target butt is acceptable and the tune is close to being good. You don't have to have BH and FP to fly the same to be deadly. It makes for great conversation, but not needed. If your arrow does not hold up to the draw length and poundage, it will not fly the same. But the BH's may group very well. Just adjust the sights to match the group.

I downloaded the tuning guide but I need that acrobat reader thing.

When I get some money I will get some arrows and I am going to do this tuning right!

And dont forget to resharpen those broadheads before you go hunting if you're shooting targets with it. I guess you may be shooting those practice blades but just a reminder. Stick with it, you'll get it shooting right.

RE: How do I make my Muzzy's fly like fieldpoints
 

i've never really had a problem from going to the practice blades to the broadheads. they seem to shoot pretty much alike. the only time i use field points is when paper tuning after some major set up change. my target does blow out after several hundred shots, but it's a type of foam that i get from work, and can replace anytime for nothing.

RE: How do I make my Muzzy's fly like fieldpoints
 

When the pro-shop was setting up my bow they used a measuring tool to line up the arrow rest alignment and the nocking point. Well i sighted in my field points they were flying really good. Then i put on my muzzy's and they were hitting about 4 inches left out to about 30 yards. So i moved my sight to the left and got them hitting dead on, and my field tips are still hitting dead on to. Lol. Do you think i should paper tune my bow or since my field tips and broad heads are hitting the same place just hunt with it the way it is?

I shoot 4-blade muzzy's 125s, and they seem to be shooting just like my field points.;)
