A properly tuned bow shooting a perfectly spined arrow will place a field point in the same spot as a fixed three-blade broadhead.

If you dont get it tuned adjust your rest and not your sights for your broadheads

His bow is out of tune. There are several threads on here about it, and or he can google it and there are vids or things he can do to get it so they shoot the same.Can't say I agree with you. My bow is paper tuned by a professional bow shop and the Muzzy-3 broadheads I was using were hitting close to 4 inches to the left of my field points at 20 yards; at 40 yards I had to aim just in front of the back ham to hit in the kill zone. I just switched to the Magnus Stinger 4-blades and they're consistently hitting right in with my field point groupings.

It sound like you had a spine issue or your rest was way off center. Did you ever try a broadhead tune? Paper tuning will get you close but not perfect

I had the same problem, its not always a tuning issue, when I started shooting a tried Muzzy 125's, bow was tuned fine, field points were dead on, muzzy's were hitting low 3" and right 4", started doing research and found that you have to tune your broadheads and field points together until they fly the same :yike:
I did some more research, bought some Wac' Em Tritons and they fly identical to my field points without changing a thing, not all broadheads have field point accuracy. Shuttle T's, Triton's, Striker's, Montec's and Slick Tricks just to name a few have true fieldpoint accuracy.

Canyelk,Not sure if the paper tuning was done with a broadhead, but I suspect it was just with a field point. I ordered an Admiral Bowtech package from a dealer, so the bow arrived ready to shoot, including the paper tuning with the Gold Tip arrows I ordered with the bow. However, since I switched from Muzzys to the Magnus Stingers and they are hitting in the same groupings as my field points, I'd have to say it's a broadhead issue. My buddy used to use Thunderheads and had the same problems until he switched to Montecs. When I compared the reviews between the Stingers and the Montecs, the Stingers scored slightly higher so I opted for them. Thanks for the suggestion though.

If you have a correctly spined arrow than you can tune most any broadhead to fly almost identical to your feild points. The best tuning guide I have found is the eastons tuning guide -

What is your brother-inlaws setup? Bow, draw weight, draw length, arrows, arrow cut length, broadhead weight. I can run these numbers thru my arrow selection software and see if he is even in the right ball park.
