Haven't bow hunted for a couple years, but my memory of sighting in the bow with broad heads is a bit different. Shoot 3 arrows, retrieve 2 out of target, look for third, adjust sight. Grab another arrow to compliment the two you got out of target. Repeat step above, but hope you don't loose another arrow. After thirty or so shots your not sure your right on, cause your getting tired. Come back the next day and finish the job. Yes, you make it sound too simple!
Ok Rad my bow is being mailed to your house to get tuned and sighted lol
Lol sure is. Yeah but with your expertise its a easy day
Rad, what broad heads are shooting and are you shooting a one pin slider sight?

If unfamiliar with that head it's close to the same shape and size blade as the Thunderhead 100. Big by todays standards, but I've found it to be a perfect combination of flight, cut and penetration. The new heads we are designing for Del and Larry will be much shorter. Similar in ferrule length to the MX series of Muzzy and/or WASP Bullet. I've also got a surprise coming in the form of a new shorter Contender style blade. A head I've been wanting to make for nearly 20 years. Can't wait!
Man I need to get the nerv to start shooting my broad heads at that distance. I really need to pick up some new heads before I do.
Lol my target is only 18x18" . If I had a bigger target I think id feel better.
Sounds like fun in the sand. I need to figure what heads I want to shoot this year. Ive been looking at the terminal t lock heads. Ive also been looking at montechs, ill have to look at the heads you using.
After sending all my Washington legal Bear bows to my buddy Del so he could use them on his gator hunt. I was left with only the new Bowtech Experience for the bear hunt this week. I've got a few other Bear hanging on the wall ready to go, but all are set up perfectly for out of state hunting and I didn't want to mess with them. And of course the Dark Horse beauty that is my blind queen (too pretty to go outside). So finally out of the garage and off to the long range we go!After working on Smossy's bow a little at the long range it was time to sight in the new Bowtech Experience with broadheads. Took about four shots at twenty to get the zero just right and adjust the sight scale. Arrow flight was perfect so no adjustments needed. That was very nice! Now, normally that takes me to 100 yards next. But I forgot my branch clippers and there was too much new brush in the way for 80 to 100 yards. So I guess 70 yards would have to do to verify the Archers-Advantage markings. The computer had told me 33 on the scale. Nope! Just low and to the right. 34 too high and right! 33.5 was just about perfect (looks like 3 fps different from the A-A program). Then walked the arrows to the left a couple clicks at a time. Finally a three shot group to verify - shoots pretty darned good! Back to 20 to see if the extra left clicks had a major impact. Nope, good to go!Sure love sighting in using Archers-Advantage! Less than 15 shots and sighted in to 100 yards in 2.5 yard increments. If you guys haven't used Archers-Advantage or shot the new Bowtech Experience you are missing out!
I have been looking at the truefire t1 head too. They seem really sharp
i hope someday to be printing groups like that.that stuff is inspirational

Those guys are REALLY good. And they definitely leave you feeling the impossible is possible.I had John Heuvel at my range a few years ago to sight in some long range broadheads. At 90 yards he advised me that my 90 yard target was actually 89.5 yards. I said, "Oh go F*&$ off. You can't tell that just by shooting." Later that evening I went and got myself a 100 yard tape. Dang it if he wasn't right on the money Guys like that while inspirational P me off too. They shouldn't be allowed to be that much better than me my problem i think more often than not is i am always trying to get my hands on the latest and greatest and test theoretic learning in tuning n what not on my equipment.i need to heed Greg and Jims advice n get to the shooting.i need to step out of my back yard and the woods and start hitting some shoots n meeting some of you guys n learn some things hands on
Do you give lessons??? I'm willing to travel, lol. I'm serious!
I hear im really good all the time but I know im nowhere near what I can be or what people like you are. I can say im decent but know I have lots of growth and learning
