I always adjust my pins slightly. Works well. Makes my field tips slight off but oh well, if my broadhead is flying straight that is more important.

I am hunting with Sonic 100's this year. They fly just like my field tips. Last week I shot a Thunderhead 100 and a Sonic 100 into my Yellow Jacket Target I was amazed at how much farther the Sonic penetrated than did the Thunderhead.

I am looking forward to trying one an Elk this season.

I cant believe people still paper tune.

Maybe its my setup ( I shoot a whisker biscuit) but I bought the 15$ cabelas center shot tool. Has rubber bands and posts that fit into your limb bolt holes. Once you have center dead one, you just put an arrow in the rest and eyeball the height with the rest bolt hole. Works perfect! I tune my bow weekly during heavy use times.

I guess Im weird, I have 3 razor sharp "hunting" arrows and 6 "practice" arrows. ALL have thunderhead 125's on them.
I dont use field points at all. All my shooting is done with the same BH's I hunt with so when Im dialed in...Its a perfect match. No mental math or kentucky windage needed!

But thats just me and I absolutely destroy targets.

however, I have muscle practice and precision practice. When I do precision practice its long distance shooting outside and maybe one long session a week or less often.

But, I have a block target in my house that Ill shoot 10-75 arrows a day during peak season. No real aim issues or adjustments at 8 - 10 yards. Its all muscle memory and strength practice. When my pins are on and my bow tuned I dont have to do that much precision shooting if my shoulder is strong (I pull 78 pounds but its a compound so not that bad).

Any way, Im no expert but Ive knocked down a whole lot of animals with the same routine.

ps- if my back yard was bigger than my bathroom... Id be shooting every arrow at 30-50 yards but no yard means hallway practice for me!

good luck

I switched to Sonic 100's and they are awesome and I believe they penetrate better than my Thunderheads . . . and they fly right with my fieldtips.

My Sonic 100s are awesome and fly exactly with my field tips . . . I have no plans to change any time soon.

I shot Thunderheads for years out of a very well tuned bow and always needed to adjust my pins.  I switched to G5 Montec's and then at last to Slick Tricks and they both hit the same place as my target arrows.  No more pin adjusting.
