With field tips, I'm shooting great groups, on target, out to 50 yards.
I've been reading about Broadhead tuning, as much as possible, to try to figure out what I should adjust, if anything.
Should I move my entire sight to the right, until I'm on target, OR should I move my rest? If I should move my rest, do I follow my arrows or move it the opposite direction?

Also, stop shooting groups with your broadheads. Shoot 2 or 3 at a time but, each arrow should go to a different spot. Grouping broadheads is a great way to damage arrows, cut fletchings, or damage the heads themselves
:twocents:
Yeah, I only actually shot one group, with broadheads, just to make sure that I was shooting consistently. After that, I shot at a different dot, with each arrow.

After spending about 3 hours, not being able to put my broadheads where I want them, I realized that my broadheads are actually hitting my riser, at full draw. My arrows are slightly too short! GRRR
Time to get some new arrows that are about 1/2" longer...ugh! Where would people recommend I go, on such short notice, in the Spokane area?
Currently I'm shooting Gold Tip Expedition Hunters. I want something at least comparable.

Head to whitetail plus in deer park. Greg usjally has a great selection of arrows in stock and should be able to set you up right!:yeah:

Well, not so good news...How is your form and shot placement before your started using broadheads? How is your draw length?

You can always shorten your draw length to compensate if you feel it would help.
I shoot a 28" draw and Im actually not liking it right now, I'm gonna go down to a 27 1/2 for awhile and see how that works out. Im noticing an arch in my back as Im holding the bow.
+ My anchor sits to far back on my face IMO
Also, draw length adjustment is free.

My brother had this problem but he sands the end of the shaft a bit to turn the broad head a bit more. This allows the blade to be at a slightly different angle and it does not touch the bow.

Form is fine. Shot placement, with field tips is great. Draw length is set just right, IMO. I really don't think I'd want a shorter draw length.

I've considered something like this but the broadheads actually touch the riser in two spots, on the side, and near the bottom, so turning the broadheads probably wouldn't solve the problem.
What bow do you shoot?
I'm shooting a Matthews SQ2 with a 28" DL, set at about 68 lbs.
I also shoot a Hoyt Vectrix with a 29" DL, set at 60 lbs.
Both are left handed.
Looks like I'll be heading to Deer Park!

Sounds like new arrows are your only option, what spine are you shooting? 340 on that 68lb?Well, not so good news...How is your form and shot placement before your started using broadheads? How is your draw length?
