Post by: Instinct on August 11, 2010, 10:58:40 AM: im thinking of setting up 2 sights. one for broadhead and one for fieldpoints. question is if i swap the broad head sight after early season to a field point for awhile till late season then swap back to the broadhead sight. will it all line up back to way things were or will i have to do some slight adjustments.

I wouldnt bother. If your bow is tuned they should be so close that it would only take a slight adjustment. Maybe mark the sight with a scribe line for each.

Sounds like your rest is out of adjustment. What broadheads?

Honestly unless your good at tuning the old school Muzzies are a bit difficult. I'd switch to a short in length broadhead like a g5 striker, short and wide. Otherwise you really should spend some time tuning. The newer shorter ones are much easier to tune.

A smaller broadhead like a Shuttle T or Slick trick would probably help.
From the sound of things your rest would need to be moved down and left, but there could be a arrow spine issue also if its that far off at 20
