What distance should a broadhead tune be?

Select a distance you are comfortable and confident shooting. You don’t need to be 100 yards away for this – I recommend 20 or 30 yards. First, shoot a broadhead arrow at the target (be sure you are using a target specifically designed for broadheads).

Do you need to tune bows for broadheads?

Some hunters swear by bare shaft tuning your bow and then shooting broadheads. Regardless of where your broadheads hit, they would simply adjust their pins to the POI of the broadheads and hit the woods.

Why are my broadheads shooting high?

If the field tips group higher than the broadhead, your arrow rest is too low, which causes broadheads to plane lower than field tips. Slightly raise the rest, and shoot another group. Likewise, for lateral adjustments adjust the rest in the direction your field tips hit.

Should you practice with broadheads?

Many bowhunters don’t want to sacrifice a real broadhead when practicing because they are so expensive, but practicing with a real broadhead is a must to ensure an arrow is flying true. Sometimes a mechanical head doesn’t fly exactly like a practice head so it is important to shoot a real broadhead during practice.

Does walk back tuning work?

Walk back tuning not only gives us a glimpse of the arrow flight at about 8 yards, but also what our arrow is doing at 30 or 40 yards. Walk back tuning can help us fine tune our bows for the most consistent shots.

Why do my broadheads shoot different?

The steering effect of the broadheads causes the arrows to be delivered differently than arrows with field points. The orientation of the blades with respect to how the arrow is being delivered determines how much air the blades will catch.

How close should broadheads and field points be?

First, make sure your knock, fletchings and broadhead are inline. Stand 20 yards from a target and shoot a field point tipped arrow. As long as your sights are set, it should be close to the bull’s-eye.

How do you practice shooting with broadheads?

I do this by first shooting an arrow with a broadhead then shooting one with a field point. If the broadhead hits low and to the left of the field point, I move my rest up and to the right in very small increments (bring the broadhead to the field point). Shoot them again and repeat adjustments if necessary.

How tight should my arrow groups be?

How tight should your arrow groups be? Your arrow groups should be AT MOST 6″ over 30 yards to bring down an average white-tailed deer.
