Well I only go as far as 60 cause that's all the pins I have. But I bet at 75 yds its pretty easy to find a flaw in your form. Not much room for error at that range.

field tips and broad heads will give you different FOC field tips fly through the air different that fixed or mech blades and over long distances will alter your arrow path Don't shoot just field points and screw in a hunting head to go hunting, practice with the heads you intend to shoot. Know how they fly, and adjust to using them. field tips are perfect for target shooting broadheads are perfect for hunting use and practice with what you plan to shoot at. A broadhead will have more resistance due to more surface area but that doesn't come into play until way past normal hunting distances. Especially if the arrow is tuned properly and has adequate fletch. |
Gravity may pull at it no matter what is there. But to have a proper tuned arrow your FOC is important.
Or go put 100gr at the middle of your arrow and shoot it and then move 100gr to the nock and shoot it. Arrow will weigh the same for gravity to pull on it but your now FOC is way off. FOC is part of a tuned arrow. |

FOC is part of a tuned arrow. Yes but your original post made it sound like a broadhead will have a different point of impact because of of a higher foc. This should only be true if the broadhead is actually heavier. The 1% to 2% foc increase because of broadhead length is not going to make a broadhead impact lower.100 grain on the front of the shaft is all that matters. I actually agree with the rest of your post. Broadheads can be tuned to the same poi but will not have the same flight characteristics as fp's. |
Normally when i get into this discussion and I'm being told its not possible I just shrug my shoulders and say
" I dont know, mine hit the same spot and I tuned it that way" "Can you explain why mine hit the same spot?" |

I prefer to shoot and dial in the head I plan to hunt with. Could try to dial both fieldtips and broadheads in but find it just easier to dial in the broadheads and practice still but not make any adjustments. |

yes it can be done but it takes some effort, a lot of guys aren't willing to do it much less learn how. I can shoot a bare shaft with field points and fixed blade broadheads together out to 80 yds.

Bare shaft at 80 yards?:confused: |
