Default broadheads tuning

When shooting my broadheads I have to resight my bow, my broadheads hit low, so I sighted them for broadheads now my feild points hit high...Is this normal? I am only shooting broadheads right now, and have it tuned pretty good...So I dont want to practice with feild tips ,only broadheads till season is over.Some one told me they should hit the same, I use fixed broadheads 85 grain, feld point same grain...I pull about 50lb, and my draw is 24 1/2 ..any info would help...

if you tune your arrows it should be better,,by that i mean match your broadhead to your feathers,,if the vanes cut through the same air as the braod head it will fly better.alot of bow shooters overlook this...one way is to heat the inserts that braodheads are in and turn them to match by laying them on a flat surface.if you shoot three blade use three vanes and so on,,it will help but they still will be off alittle bit at distance..20 plus yards.good luck and good hunting

I know some folks think otherwise, but I think more are of the opinion that lining up vanes with BH blades makes absolutely no difference.

Assuming things like rest contact, arrow spine, vane clearance etc., are all good, the poster should lower the knocking point, or raise the rest, very slightly. Once FPs and BHs hit together, it may be necessary to re-sight.

Sorry to tell you but this makes no difference at all.
