Broadhead hitting a little high and right
« on: June 15, 2018, 12:36:48 PM »
Last year my broadheads were hitting a little high and about 6 inches to the right.  I adjusted my sights and was hitting ok then.  I recently seen on YouTube that the proper way to fix that problem is adjusting the rest, because it probably wasn't centered. My question is...which way is correct?  I shoot a 70# G5 Primal, 28" Carbon Express Red 350 spine arrow, and a 125 grain broadhead. I had my bow tuned up prior to last season, and they used a laser to center my QAD test.

First I would check some online calcualator and make sure your spine is correct. Adding weight to the end of the aarow weakens the spine. But I would move your rest left 1/16 of an inch.  Barely noticeable.  Keep and eye on your current notch as sometimes they can move fast when adjusting. Any shooting errors are magnified when shooting broad heads.

Lots of smart archery guys on here @D-Rock425
I have always move the rest, move it in the direction you want the arrow to move, IE move it left a little and retry your shots
But im no expert....just what has worked for me

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Are they all hitting the same or is it just a couple odd arrows.

I'd start with a paper tune but thats all it is is a start.  Than I'd do a French/walk back tune.  Than I'd be indexing and group tuning arrows.  Put some numbers on the arrows so you can eliminate and outliers.

Would lowering my draw weight to like 65# help any?

I've had this issue with 2 different models of 125 heads, but the Wasp Boss Bullet was spot on out to 50 yards. I went with the 125s for a better FOC.

Brilliant advice!  :chuckle:
Or, he could move the Sight pin up and to the right also. That might work.  :twocents:

Google bare shaft tuning and broadhead tuning.  You are correct about moving the rest
RELAX,PICK A SPOT,SHOOT STRAIGHT
