new broadheads
« on: February 14, 2013, 09:55:42 AM »
I'm new to archery and not sure where I should go from here. I just bought a bow in January I've pretty much got it tuned and sighted in. I decided I was going to go with the montec 100 gr broadheads so I bought the practice ones. I shot them today and they grouped fairly good at 20 yds but when I went to pull my arrows I noticed they entered the target at an angle. Actually two different angles. I'm shooting gold tip xt hunters 5575 30" long with 100gr field pts with 30" dl and 60#. I did paper tune the bow with the field pts and got it dialed.

Whats your draw length?  Maybe a spine issue with a 5575 being 30 inches long. :dunno:

Looks like your right on the edge of being able to shoot the 7595. Just a thought.

The thing shoots 100gr field pts beautifully, I thought from everything I've read the montecs were supposed to be the equivalent to field pts.

i dont think there is a broadhead out that the company doesnt claim that it flies like a field point.
if you are underspined it will show through when you throw a broadhead on.atleast that has always proven true for me.

Broadhead tune your bow.

Shoot at 20 yards and shoot at 60 yards.  Does your group move in a direction.  If so adjustments to the rest and/or nock point are needed to get your bow in tune.

Shooting field tips can cover up the fact your bow is out of tune.

What bow did you get. Im willing to bet its out of tune. Take it to a pro shop or some where they can time the cam. Ive been tuning my new bow and need to sight it in before I go to my muzzys.

That explains everything PSE :bash:.  Just joking its hard to trouble shoot without seeing or shooting the bow.  My first bet is spine problem broadheads multiple any little problem.

The EVO is hard on arrows.  If the chart says your on the edge of spine you are probably under spined shooting the PSE.  Although I would venture to say your 31" of arrow and 100 grain broadhead puts you very light on the front.  So I'd expect your FOC is out of whack.  Also, where did you get the arrows?  What vanes?  Do they have a twist/helical?

Judging an arrows flight by the angle of the arrow in the target is not always a true test either.  You have to watch them in flight to be sure.  Especially if your target has multiple layers that the heads enter at an angle.  Montecs out of the box are not the sharpest tool.  So the dull surfaces will easily follow the path of the media orientation.  If they are at different angles to one another it's a good bet this or poor FOC in wind is what's happening.

Good luck!  Sure hope you're having some fun :tup:
