20 yds - Dead on, 30 yds - 3" left, What?
« on: June 30, 2012, 06:15:06 PM »
This is my current broadhead shooting problem.  Is this a fletching/broadhead problem?  I have do figure it is since I can't individually tune my pins.  Thoughts?

It could be your form or a tuning issue. You could try moving your rest or just move your site so you are hitting where you are aiming.

Are your field points dead on ?????   Dial in your field points out to 50 yards......for starters.

They were, til I put those damned FOB's on :chuckle:  I think I just need some time with everything.  I'd like to have about 3 hours to sit and adjust stuff.  Having to make adjustments when I only get about 10 shots a day is proving difficult

If its on at 20 and off at 30 then try it at 10, in theory it should be a little right. If its still on at 10 then it is turning mid flight after the 20 yard point and wouldn't be your pins, it would be the fletching or broadhead causing it.

 I'd try buckfvr's advice and try 30-40 yards with field points, if flying true then fletching, pins and shooter are fine, broadhead problem.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

double j,

i really think you are overthinking alot of things. ever hear the acronym K.I.S.S.? pick something that has been proven time and time again and stick with it. none of the new gadgets/gizmos with make you shoot any better. just get out there and practice and remember K.I.S.S.! (no offence)
Team nubby!

I am thinking it may be center shot related.......measure off the riser wall to center of shaft.  13/16ths is a recommended starting point for several manufacturers.  I sometimes wind up at 3/4 or 7/8, but point is, if your are a bit left at 30, a bit more at 40, and even more at 50, you will need to move your rest to the right.  You may need to start this process with your field points if this measurement is way off.....When/if you decide you need to move your rest...do so in minute stages until you get desired results.  Keep in mind to measure off the wall to center of shaft so you dont get less than 3/4. 

Remember, a relaxed bow hand, not flexxed, and do not grab your grip......you have a sling right ?

What broadhead are you shooting?  I have shot many and found that some are just plain garbage.  I had one brand...fairly cheap....consistantly 6 inches low and 6 inches left.  swiched to another and would cut fleches every shot and point of impact was same as my field points.  Don't go messing with your bow if you can get field points to do what you want.  Ask a few buddies for a broadhead and try to shoot diffent broadheads through your set up.  Go with the one that works.  If no broad head flies good then start monkying with your bow.   :twocents:

With all due respect to ToddID - Dump the FOB's first.

Did I send you a sight on that bow with no bubble level?
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
