What broadhead ? I use slicks and mine hit right with the field points.

What broadhead ? I use slicks and mine hit right with the field points. This was true for me when I was shooting a slower-ish bow. Now that I have an elite that shoots fast I had to tune my bow for broadheads. Magnum 100 grain slick tricks hit to the left of my field tips every time. Simply moved my rest over and now I'm slamming them home.

I appreciate that very much. Part of the problem of being ignorant is that you don't know what you don't know. This is my 5th season hunting and my 4th with a bow. I am self taught through trial and error (mostly error) and whatever I learn from Aldeer. I have learned a lot from you guys and hope to continue gaining knowledge where I can. Thanks again. Oh yeah, what is the likelihood that I will totally screw something up in the process of broadhead tuning? That is to say is it easy to mess something up or do I really have to be a knucklehead to create a problem?

It's already out of whack, so you can't mess it up. You need to move your rest to the left in small increments til they hit together. Keep in mind that your POI is going to shift left with both points. So you may have to bump your sight a little left to stay on target. If your a right handed shooter, your broadheads hitting right is an indication of weak arrow spine. How many pounds are you pulling, how long are your arrows and what weight are your points? You should always shoot at least one of your hunting heads to insure they are have the same POI as your field points, even mechanical heads.

So we've hit the woods wide open for 5 seasons now without shooting or testing our broadheads we intend on killing an animal with????????? Awesome Well, to restate, I've released one arrow at a deer and she went in my freezer. It's generally considered bad form to insult someone who's already confessed ignorance. It was not willful ignorance and ignorance does not equal stupidity. I didn't test with broadheads because I was afraid it would ruin them, it's just that simple, and I didn't know any better. Now I do and will make the necessary adjustments. Thanks for your help. When you get your bow tuned and sighted back in if you plan on bowhunting in cold weather you should practice with your cold weather clothes on. Just a tip in case you didn't know.
