Broadheads drifting left?

[Slim Jim]

Can anyone tell me why my broadheads drift left? At 50yrds its about 4" and out to 85 its about 6-8". My field points are dead on and I'm sure it's probably a tuning issue but how do I do that? WTF

Fixed blades? Look up broadhead tuning sounds just like a minor rest adjustment to me

 

[Slim Jim]

Ya fixed. My Montec G5's fly at those ranges but my Shuttle T's are about 4" farther (they're way off). Not going to use them because I leave Wednesday for my mule deer hunt

Do you have all 3 axis adjusted on your sight?

Do you use your level?

If you cant your bow.. The results are noticed at further distance

 

[Slim Jim]

I always look at my level. All my axis's are level

Assuming some little things like level, spine and grip torque are not an issue, I would look at moving the rest to the right 1/32" at a time until your broadheads center. Then you might have to slightly adjust your pins again for FP's.

This is a nice guide to keep around: http://www.eastonarchery.com/img/downloads/software/tuning_guide.pdf

Thanks Kevin! Great clip to have. I see exactly what you are talking about from the guide. It's obviously not uncommon so I hope a 1/32" in towards the bow fixes the problem.

What kind of bow you shooting?

When I tune my bows I yoke tune to get broadheads and field points together. When my broadhead are hitting left. I take twists out of the left yoke and add twists to the right yoke. Until my field points and broadheads are hitting together.

I shoot bowtech insanity. I don't have a press so that isn't an option right now because I'm leaving in three days for my deer hunt. Going to bow shop then out to range then back is going to take time I don't have

Like said above, move rest to the right 1/32 at a time and recheck. I would be surprised if it affects your field points at all.

Right handed shooter, left impact could suggest an over-spined arrow. The fact that a different BH hits POA causes me to scratch my head on this one. When you are shooting the BH that shoots to POA, are you also shooting the exact same arrow?

I think he's saying both hit off, but the shuttle t's are another 4" worse than the montecs.

 

[velvetfvr]

Sounds like you needed to yoke tune/ bare shaft tune that insanity.

I have found that your grip or bow torque plays a big part in broadhead flight. Don't see it too much with field points,but will be exaggerated greatly with broadheads. something to think about and a simple fix.

Correct

What do you mean? That I'm pulling left on release

 

[rodney482]

Did you set your axis while at fulldraw?

 

[Sunspot]

I forgot to ask but did this all change after the new strings?

Jim when I torque my bow with broadheads I can visually see the arrow wobble in flight.

I hate to suggest a band-aide, but this close to to the opener you might think about trying some mechanical's.

Bow needs to be in time and tuned properly. Tuned properly means broadheads and field points hit together at any yardage.
