Paper Tuning Problems
« on: August 12, 2009, 10:33:23 PM »
I was paper tuning my bow today because I was having erratic broadhead flight.  My field points paper tune perfectly but my broadheads are consistently shooting BH left tail left.  It is not by much but still enough to shake my confidence.  DO you think that this is a problem?

Are you shooting your broadheads through paper or are they just impacting left of your field tips.  I think i read that your shooting them through paper and you shouldnt.  You paper tune field tips and then move to a broad head target.  Shoot a broad head and then a field tip.  If your lucky and bow tuned correctly they will impact close to each other.  If not you make adjustments (very small) to the rest and nock point to get the broad head impact the same as field tips.

Thanks.  I figured that if my field tips were tuning good then I was fine but I wanted to make sure.

That's not a good assumption,The additional length of the broadhead can make the arrow react differently. Then the blades can steer the arrow to a different impact area once the arrow stabilizes itself, Especially so if your arrow spine is a bit on the weak side. IF your centershot is correct you can shoot stiffer arrows and see very little change in your impact.
