There's a rivalry? I'm a bow hunter, my son is a rifle hunter. Should I not like him?  :chuckle:

Sorry, I didn't realize that shooting one broadhead and one fieldtip at a spot while tuning was too much. Ill be sure to check with huntwa before I shoot any more arrows to make sure I am doing it correctly.... this ain't my first rodeo and I'm not new to archery or shooting arrows believe it or not....  :bash:
:chuckle: Down Kujo! I was not accusing you, just using your comment as reference for the reply, you might check your blood pressure........WOW! :chuckle:

Lots of interesting views.... All I have to add is with my first bow I shot the same arrow with a heavier broad head 125 gr. my new bow doesn't shoot as fast and I shoot 100 gr. broad head. With the first my broad heads were 3" different than my FP. So I just adjusted my sight window before hunting season. Worked fine. With my new bow BH's & FP's shoot the same. Makes it simple, but in the end they both killed deer and elk just the same. I would just sight in your BH and shoot then out to your max distance to see if they continue to goup and fly good. Wouldn't want to mess with it more and really mess it before season

Yeah, my Savora BH's shoot just as accurately as my field points. I love them.

Smossy you crack me up.  RadSav is right, you need to get out and get a red arrow!
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Tuned up my bow at the shop today because the cams were a bit out of timing. Up until this point it was shooting great, field points and broadheads were hitting exactly the same.

If your setup was shooting and grouping both field points and broadheads together what made you believe the cam timing was off?  When my bows are shooting perfect I tend to leave them the heck alone ;)

With that said if the bow/arrow combination was right before it should be rather easy to get it back.  Since it was perfect before you know there is no reason to move the rest in or out.  It will all be timing and nockset location.

I find that 90% of shops can't get tuning or timing set worth a crap.  Especially this time of year!  Don't let it get you down.  It should be a simple fix and you will be out killing critters in no time.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Red arrows go 10% faster and have an increased KE of 8%.......something to do with light refraction and where red is on the color spectrum. Trust me, I once played a doctor on TV.
