What would the difference in ballistic coefficents between an arrow with a field point and an arrow with a "standard" broadhead?
Anyone know how to actually calculate this?
A broadhead tipped arrow would obviously supply more overall drag, and thus have a lower BC, by some amount.
Under that condition, one would have to think that some element of "lift" provided by the planing of the broadhead is the only way that a broadhead arrow can hit with a field tip at x distance.
They absolutely will not hit the same point at all distances, due to differences in BC, but it's quite feasible to get them to hit the same point at a single distance.
