stumped- ST broadheads 2.5 inch left and 1 inch low compared to FP
 

Folks,

Been shooting for the past several weeks. I thought things were going well so I decided to put on a broadhead to verify. To my horror, they hit 2 1/2 inches left and 1 inch low. Last year they were spot on. The broadheads are slick tricks, 125 gr.
I am shooting a Darton Avalanche, 65-68 lbs with Beman ICS hunter 340's. Any suggestions would be great.

Broadhead tune...you are probably very close on your setup, but not perfect.

WV Hunter, thanks. after posting I actually saw this on archery talk. It is a great guide. Being a relative newbie, I am learning how to adjust the different components of the bow. I now have to go back and figure out how to adjust the rest. wish me luck

I wouild agree, slight rest movement, shoot both FB and ST's again, you should see them either getting farther apart, or closer together. Don't stress over it, it isn't a major problem.

Thanks handles. i want perfection. I gut shot a doe last year, but did find her and I don't want that to happen again. I, like all bowhunters, want a quick kill, so i want the BH to fly like the FP. So, you think 2.5 L and 1 down is a small issue, easily corrected?

Hopefully. start off by moving the rest about 1/4" right, and a few millimeters up.

Your fp impact will change so be ready for that. You will get it with a bit of time! Good luck

I just got done correcting the same issue...end result is it is quite suprising how out of tune your bow can get....

I started with paper tuning and was tail high and right...adjusted my rest accordingly(essentially chasing tear direction with adjustments) until I was shooting bullet holes. I then resighted my FP's in. Once complete with the resight I checked BH's at same distance - money. I then compared Muzzy, ST, and Thunderhead out of curiosity and whalah they are flying amazing and dead money to my FPs...seems and sounds too good to be true.. Next I verified POI out to 40 yards and was in line and on... Happiest I ever have been after shooting broadheds right now.

You cant beat confidence when going into the deer woods!

You also can't beat buck fever HAHAHAH:hit:

When Confidence>doubt you can... It is hard to take your eyes off of a nice rack tho;):p

A "1/4 INCH???" I think I'd go with 1/16" and see what that does, a "1/4 Inch" sound a bit extreme. I agree, on the UP thing though, 1/32" or so may get it. Might need a full 1/16th, but may not.


WTDoc,
BH tune the bow, make SMALL incremental changes, working toward getting both FP's and BH's to same POI, and after doing that, then make those final sight adjustments with the confidence that where the FP's go the BH's also will go.
