Default Broadhead flight

My field tips are shooting good groups but my new broadheads shoot low.They are the mussy three blade.Is this normal to have to re sight in my bow for broadheads?Never had this before but my bow [parker] is only two years old and my broadheads are new.
Thanks

check and see if the arrow is lined up with the string , the arrow rest. iknow some people who has this problem. how long draw you got. some time you can move hte mocking point and get it grouping with both. but if you are grouping good with the broadhead i would set sight to them and hunt hunt hunt.\

Broadheads will often hit differently then field tips. Im going to assume that your bow is tuned. Make sure that your BH' s pass the spin test. Also check that you have more surface area on your vanes then on your Bh' s. You don' t want the front doing more steering then the back.

My Hunting set up hits about 3" lower then my practice set up.

Spin check your broadheads first and get them spinning perfectly. If you are hitting low with your broadheads, try either moving your rest up slightly (when I mean slightly, I mean 1/32" increments at a time) or move your nock point down a hair. You should see your groups coming together. Just keep making very small adjustments until they are hitting the same place.
