Shuttle T's flying really high
« on: November 24, 2012, 07:45:46 PM »
After the debacle I call a hunt yesterday and after missing a 4x4 BT over his back I had to figure this out. Shot the bow today and realized it was the first time I have shot the Shuttle-T's from the new bow, new rip cord rest and new release... Rookie mistake! Each shot was about 10 inches high. Then, shot my G5 Montec's and they were money!!! So, now at least if I miss again I can't use the excuse that my broads heads don't fly straight :).

Anyone else have this problem with Shuttleq-T's?

If you lived closer I'd give mine to you! Wonder why this is happening?

If they are 125's you can send them to me.  I will gladly dispose of them in an elk. I will even send pics after I do.  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Bummer. Let that be a lesson to you... Always practice shooting your new bow BEFORE the hunt.

I had used shuttle T's last season and they shot well out of a diff bow. Lesson learned that not all bows and rests shoot the same.

if you like them just take em n do some rest adjustin.shouldnt take 2 long at all to getem hittin with you field points.im no expert on any of this but if they are hitting high you should just have to bump you rest up or your nocking point down o touch

Somethings not tuned right. I would just shoot the Montecs. I've shot them since they came out and have never seen a reason to try something different. They seem to be more forgiving to your set up.
Never stop preparing for next season.

Not all broadheads will shoot like your field points. Infact most will not shoot 100% the same. You need to indeed shoot them before using them. If you want to hunt with them it sounds like you will need to adjust your sights to match them or stick with the montec's.

it might just be in the tune of your bow, I shoot the T's and never had a problem with them, I also shot the G5s and they shot in the same spot out to 80 yards.

Ok, ok... I'll never make this mistake again.. I promise! Am I forgiven?

Montec's G5's for me as I just don't see chasing the arrow with my pins and I also like to shoot year round with field points.

Enjoy the late season! A few weeks left.

id be checking the tune on the bow . What fletchings do you shoot . I shoot four fletch blazzers with slicktricks set to string and also shoot shuttle t's . I use to time them but found that they screw and shoot the same . are your shuttles the same wieght or are you slightly under spined maybe ?

If there's no fletching contact and spine is correct it looks to me like the montecs are probably hitting low. The montecs have a higher surface area, which makes them more likely to plane if your bow isn't tuned. Where do your field points hit compared to both heads? If field points hit above your montecs try bumping up your rest up in 1/32" increments, and if there's no other issues like spine or contact then I almost guarantee you can get the shuttles, field points and montecs hitting together, or at least very close. Look up broad head tuning, probably needs to be done with your bow. Also make sure both those broadheads weigh the same.

Shuttle t's are probably the best flying fixed head on the market. :tup:
