Most of those charts are wrong anyway.

I'll try that too, and report back. Thanks!

Most everything I've read on that bow has center shot being 13/16 inch from the riser with nock level

ok, took to the shop and the timing is all good. Apparantly, I was moving the rest in the wrong direction...

I read that if BH's are grouping LEFT of FP's, to move the REST to the RIGHT. Well, that was for a left handed shooter. Since I didn't know that he was a lefty, I was moving my rest to the RIGHT and making things worse, when I should have been moving it LEFT.

Went out to shoot today and try again, and my peep sight popped out after like the 5th shot..ugh!

Got my peep tied in (thanks Ken!), and went back at it with the modified french tuning. Finally got the slick tricks grouping with the FP's...however, I noticed my form (grip) has to be dang near perfect to get good flight with the BH's, otherwise they hit a little left. Gonna leave everything set like it is and do some more shooting...might decide to switch to mechanicals if I can't maintain consistency with the slick tricks, cuz I guarantee my grip might not be perfect when that big buck walks by.

Appreciate all the advice here!

Your bad form should affect your field points, also.

Left or right handed doesn't matter. Move your rest in the direction you want your broadhead group to move (towards your fp group). It's also going to move your field point group, but not as much. The key is to move in very small increments until your bh group catches up with your fp group. After that, adjust your sight to the point of impact. If none of that works, you are way off spine or have some severe inconsistencies in your form. CD.

Something else to look at is your fletching. You may not be getting enough spin to stabilize the BH. With FP it is not as important because they don't try to wind plane. I have had this many years ago when the fad was to straight fletch. On a long shot you could watch the arrow swoop around. Still was consistent, but not something you could sight in. I went to longer vanes and helical fletch and fixed it.

I was shooting 3 inches to the right and 4 inches low with broadheads compared to FP, after days of frustration, figured out it was the QuikSpin fletching. I changed to regular Blazer vanes and fixed my problem. Crazy how fletching can change things up that drastically.

Never have liked those quick spins. All I shoot is Blazers. And I never had any problems with Slick Tricks. Still shooting them and won't change as long as they are still available.
