Broadheads

[colockumelk]

This is why I now shoot mechanicals

Maybe I'm wrong, but these are not legal in WA.  Correct?

They are only illegal in like 3 states.  I live in NY currently where they are legal. And they work AWESOME!!!

I'm having the same problem, and coincidently with the same grain and brand of broadhead. At 20 yrads, I'm about 4 inches to the left. at 40 about 9 or ten inches to the left. At 50 about a foot. All at the perfect level just left. I think I'll try adjusting in small increments, then adjusting my sights. I feel like i can see the arrow veer to the left, compared to straight shooting field tips. I haven't paper tuned yet.

You don't need to paper tune.  You need to tune your broadhead.  Paper tuning is just getting your bow close to where it should be before you broadhead tune, and in reality is just a snapshot of your arrows flight at a particular distance.  You are interested in perfect flight, which may not really be occurring with a paper tune.

You probably can see your arrow veering.  Move your rest and it should remedy itself.

And make sure you don't have any fletch contact.  A field point can put up with some fletching contact but not a fixed blade broadhead.

I have no fletching cantact. It makes sense to me now that the three blade broadhead steers the arrow just like the fletchings, but would'nt I want to move it in small increments to the left to straighten it out ? If the front of my arrow is veering left, and I move the rest right, won't it veer further to the left? I need answers because I want to go shoot now!!

   When moving your rest move in the direction the arrow needs to go. Typically when moving your SIGHT you want to "chase" your arrow. 

[dreamingbig]

You move your rest towards your field points.  Your broadheads are hitting left because your front end is pointing left of center upon release.  Eventually they will match up.

AH HA !!! now, holding my bow it all makes sense! Going to shoot right now in the rain. Thanks for the advice everyone and sorry for the thread jack.

I couldn't get them to fly the same. I shot 5 field tips at 5 different small spots at ten yards, all dead on. Shot 1 broadhead at 10, 2 inches left. so I adjusted my rest, 1/32 inch to the right, shot a field tip. Hit inch to the right at ten. Adjusted my sights to field tip. Shot field tip at 10, dead on. Shot broadhead at ten, still shooting left !!!??? Repeated process 2 more times with same result. Maybe i'll just keep shooting field tips till 2 weeks before season, then make sight adjustments for broadheads and shoot only broadheads until season. What could be the problem?

[Button Nubbs]

Could be a spine issue.

[dreamingbig]

Or cam timing.  Are we having fun yet?

[Todd_ID]

Or a release issue?

[JLS]

Or torque.

[Todd_ID]

Or misaligned inserts.

[enaz]

 sometimes I feel like I have to alter the torque of my hand when I'm at full draw to keep the arrow from lifting off the rest, this also makes it so my grip wierd. when the pressure should be straight away with main pressure between my thumb and index finger, it is more in the lower palm of my hand. I need to get with a pro so they can tell me whats up. I live in grays harbor, if anyone is close and had some time in the next week or so.
