Default BROADHEAD FLIGHT QUESTION?

Hi their i am not new to this forum, but my pc crashed bought new one with new email address too, used to be know on here as "GOBBLER TRACKS", anyhow i have a new mathews outback and it shoots great. now it is perfectly tuned with a laser centershot and has a drop away rest so i know that their is no fletching contact, when i shoot my fieldtips they are deadnuts, then i have been trying my 100 grain 4 blade muzzy's and they shoot about 4 to 6 inches high, now i think the only problem might be that i am using straight fletching, but i have never liked helical fletch but now with the dropaway rest i am sure i would be fine, but i don't really want to switch to helical if i don't have to what are yous guys opinions. mathews outback 30" draw 65 lbs GT 5575's thanks for your help i could also shoot my nap shockwaves, or my spitfires what do you think?

If you are hitting high I would presume it is an issue with your nocking point. Your arrows spine should be right on with your setup. Check nock point again. Good luck.

Everyone does not always get fixed blade broadheads & field tips to group in precisely the same spot with straight or off-set fletch. But if you are getting 2” groups at 30 yds (you say 4-6” high) with straight or off-set fletching and this group is scaleable to difference distances, it would be hard to find a lot of fault: unless one is shifting to hunting & target often.

To me the only thing that matters is that my arrows are flying perfectly
straight and I am grouping as well as possible with broadheads. Due to
air flow with broadheads it is at times difficult to get both field points/
broadheads to impact together. I only practice with broadheads prior
to and during the season so I just re-sight in and go hunting.

HI, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME REPLY! i I just like say thanks to everyone who has posted all their experiences. It helps new bowhunters alot! I like say thanks to BIGBULLS FOR THE BROADHEAD TEST. I was having problems with all types af heads. Had my bow tuned and shot great with tips, but not broadheads. I did the adjustments you guys sugested in all the ? on here. I found 4 out of 7 arrows shot good, 3 went 6" to left. I switch all the heads, same result. I found that buying CHEAP carbons do make a differance, if you want all arrows in the bulleye. I got 3 hunts that start on sept. 1 thanks to you all i am so ready!!!!!!! thank you!!!
