General answer is to move your broadhead toward your field tip (moving your rest or nocking point). Up and down is usually easy to fix and I would do that first (raise arrow rest or lower nocking point 1/8 inch at a time until both arrows hit same height. The left and right is a little harder and depends on spine of arrow or it could be left or right position of the rest. Before you mess with the left and right position of your rest, make sure you have used one of the charts or programs to pick the proper arrow spine for your setup. Paper tune or walk back tune or modified French tune with your field tips. Then you are ready for broadhead tuning. If you move your rest left (1/8 inch at a time) and your field tips and broadheads get closer...then keep doing it until arrows are hitting same spot...or they start getting farther apart. Pick the position that gets them closest. In your case, a stiffer spined arrow may also bring them closer (but still may need some slight broadhead tuning to get optimal rest position.

Maybe put that broadhead on another arrow. Shoot a couple and number the arrows, make sure they all hit the same point. If multiple heads with multiple arrows hit the same then time to do a little tuning. Also my local shop has a cup full of different broadheads to try and see which flies best with your bow, saves buying and tossing. Mike

Post by: hillbilli on August 18, 2011, 11:09:09 PM: i shoot the muzzs, but they do hit a little diff than field points, so I make sure before season my sights are fine tuned to the b-heads. I suspect the reason muzzy now offers a different shorter head is to help get them to fly closer to field points with the faster bows..
