Broadhead problem?
 

I just got a chance to try out my new Muzzy 100 grain heads today and found that aiming the same as I do with the field tips the Muzzy's Always land 6" low and 6" to the left at 25 yds.!WHY? If this is normal am I just gonna have to adjust for my Muzzy's and buy more Muzzy practice tips and get rid of my field point's?

Also I did not notice the other day at Bass Pro if Muzzy offer's packets of just practice blades?I only got one set of practice blades with my Sharpend Blade pack.

From my experience with Muzzy heads they do tend to hit a little off from where the field points do. A ltitle adjusting and you should have them hitting the same in no time.

As for the practice blades, yes Muzzy does include one set of practice blades in each packaged of sharpened blades. You can also purchase extra practice blades seperately.

bowduke many people have this problem, me being one of them untill i made sure that my bow was properly tuned, and this doesnt mean taking it to a bass pro shops or a cabelas find your nearest pro shop and take it to them if yoiu cnat do it yourself, with a properly tuned bow your muzzys will hit dead on wiht your field points.

My Muzzy's (I shoot 100 grain also) hit dead on with my field points. Like mentioned above, get your bow tuned by a pro shop if you haven't done so already.

Read this. It will help explain what the problems are.

By all means read what 5 shot has to say. And do it in the same sequence. One thing that should be pointed out though. Many people always say to take it to a pro-shop to get tuned. A pro-shop does not TUNE your bow for you. You still have to do the shooting. They can help you make the necessary adjustments if you don't know that to do, but YOU must be shooter.

I have yet to get a muzzy to fly consistently. I doubt that I will spend, no waste my time with muzzys. Since the old man died and the daughter took over, the quality of the muzzys have dropped significantly. I think that making the $$$$$ is more important now than making a quality broadhead. How unfortunate.

RE: Broadhead problem?
 

My 100 gr. 4 blades hit right with my field points. Everything, I have read, however, indicates this is the exception, not the norm. But, I also understand that is the case with any fixed blade head, save the newer low profile heads. A properly tuned bow, with ABSOLUTELY no fletching contact is a must. I also found that feathers do a better job of stabilizing, but that is just my experience. Get that bow shooting perfect bullet holes in paper, and see if that don't fix it. Otherwise, just adjust your sights, and problem solved. The group is what you are looking for.
Medic167, if you are truely shooting 304 fps, the fact that you cannot get a muzzy to fly doesn't surprise me. I didn't see in your signature what broadhead you are shooting, but I doubt you will get any fixed blade to fly perfectly. It is just too fast. This is JMO however. Since the daughter took over, nothing has changed in the way Muzzy manufactures its heads. THe difference is todays super high speed bows. Anyway, that is all I have to say about that. This, again, is just my humble opinion.

I shoot 125g Muzzy 3 blade heads and it took a bit of tunning to get them to hit with my fieldpoints but this should be expected. Tune your bow so that the broadheads and field points are hitting together. It'll take some tinkering but is easy enough todo.

For the practice blades I actually prefer to shoot sharp blades for practice. the practice blades differ from the real deal and to insure consistence I shoot the heads as I would at a deer. Best bet is to hit walmart after the season and stock up on blades. Set up 3 arrows for practice and just make sure to switch out the blades before you hunt.

MAYBE YOUR ARROW IS FRONT HEAVY...JUST A THOUGHT.

RE: Broadhead problem?
 

Muzzy's have and will be my broadhead of choice. I've found that with the proper set-up and tuning they're dead nuts on with my field points. Go to a proshop to have your bow tuning checked and make sure that your arrow is spined right. Good Luck.

3 blade 100 grain muzzys have always been one of the more difficult heads for me to get good flight with . 5shots site will give you a good starting place , along with eastons tuning guide , that you download from their website . A petpeeve of mine is to have enough fletching on your arrow , 5" feathers will give you enough steering to counteract the muzzys steering in the front of you arrow . Len says there are 3 things to tune for good arrow flight , and he is dead on . The archer , the arrow , and the bow . When one is out of whack it will screw up your arrow flight / consistency . When my arrows are tuned so that a muzzy will hit with my field tipped arrows , I have found that any 100 grain head I put up front hits with them .

My Muzzy 100 3bld and 4 bld both hit with my field tips. I shoot both during the course of a year.

One of my best bloodtrails(result of shot placement) was from a large whitetail doe that soaked up a 4bld muzzy 100....it was a short trail too.

Bow, whats your bareshaft doing?

RE: Broadhead problem?
 

I just seen a friend of mine I havn't seen in a while and he told me that in his experience I should match the fletching with the blade count or have more fletching than blades.I'm shooting a three fletch arrow with a 4 Blade Muzzy. He said that was probably part of my problem along with the quality of the arrow. He said that when you shoot carbon arrows you have to shoot the higher quality to get the same accuracy as an aluminum arrow. He also said that since I am shooting a Parker ultra light 31 that I do not have to worry about tuning it cause it is a solo cam and not a twin cam.He told me that I should for now just get more Practice Muzzy's and scrap my field points for now and re'sight my bow for the Muzzy tips and when I wear everything out then start over the "RIGHT" way!

Thank ya'll for all the advice! Just have a little patience with me cause when I dive into something I can get a little anle!

Whats my bareshaft?

Monetcs make a fixed blade at like 75 or 85 grains that is made for high speed bows. The one person I know who has messed around with them said they flew real nice for them but he will probably stick with the 100 grain ones since he has had such good success with them.

RE: Broadhead problem?
 

I tryed the 85 Montec,couldn't get them tuned but I use a 3in fletch stright. Try Thunderheads,easyist Broadhead to tune I've seen or used and they are a tough head. They hit the same point as my field tips at 290fps. I am a stickler for a properly tuned bow.
