broadhead flight vs field tip
I use one pendulum pin sighted it for 26 yards. I have begun shooting my practice Montec G5 broadheads.
The vertical is perfect at 26 yards but the arrow is hitting about 1.5" to 2" right. I plan to just move my sight slightly to realign. I'm not going to change from the G5 broadheads.
Is this reasonable to have broadheads be off just a little compared to the field tips?

RE: broadhead flight vs field tip
Depends on your personality [8D]
some people are not happy unless the hit together, some are fine as long as they group. I fall somewhre in the middle! I like them hitting together because when they don't it may be a bow tune issue. However there's only so much I let it drive me nuts.
This year it worked out great, they hit together with one small tweak. Last year no matter what I did I couldn't get them perfect so I adjusted the site since BH where grouping tight out to 50 yards.

The amount its hitting to the right is something to be aware of, I would think it could be due to the blades, I like my b/h's and f/p's to hit the same. I would adjust your sight for the b/h's and leave it.

If it were me, I'd move the rest very slightly to the left. If the BHs and FPs hit together, you're all set. Then re-set sight pin as needed.
If you don't want to mess with it, just re-set the pin.

RE: broadhead flight vs field tip
I think I'll try moving the arrowrest just a smidge and see how they shoot. I did just change to a QAD Pro drop-a-way about 6weeks ago.Thanks for the tip. I was going to move the pin but perhaps this the solution to bring both FT and BH a little close together.
