RE: how to get broadheads to group with my field points
 
i remember a time that i had the same problem what i did was to take all the different arrows that i had and cut them to the same length these included 2219,2216,2117,2115,2114,2018,2016, 1916.even tryed carbens 4560 and i shoot 70# all but one arrow would go to the right and that arrow is not the one the chart even listed for that much poundage.what you have to do is try different things find out what works for you.rite now i shoot a mathews switchback 70# 26.5 .1916 with 4in vanes ,wasp camlock 100 and a laydown rest (dont know what one it is but it caust $109.its a good one) my old bow was a mathews fx ,it had a bowdotle rest ,arrows were 27in 1916 ,i did try carben 4560 but that right thing washappeningagine sofor hunting i just stay with the 1916s

Arrows shooting right usually does indicate a weak spine. Does anybody actually read Easton's Tuning Guide? Read the last paragraph on page 7. It says that sometimes release shooters get an opposite indication than those commonly achieved. I'm gonna bet that your arrows are acting too stiff. A quick way to find out is, if you can, just turn the weight of the bow up one full turn and see if that helps the situation. If it gets worse then turn them down from the original setting. Limb bolts are put ona bow to help with the tuning process, not just set the weight of the bow. There is nothing says you HAVE to shoot a particular weight. Where the bow tunes is where you shoot it. Simple as that. And anything over 50 lbs a deer doesn't really care.

What type of fletch is on your arrow , I like 3-5" feathers on an offset or 4-4inch feathers on an offset to stear fixed broadheads . The precieved standard of 3-4" vanes on an offset , just does not have enough stearing effect for fixed heads IMO . You can waste some serious time trying to tune your setup and arrows , but if you dont have enough stearing in the rear of the arrow to counteract the stearing in the front[broadhead] , it like pounding your head against the wall , when the answer is simple .
