Move pin to broadhead? K.I.S.S.

[Traindriver]

What’s your simple opinion?

To keep a long story short…..

Fieldpoints are hitting perfect, Broadheads are hitting right.

BH goes from 1” right at 20 yards to 7-8” right at 60 yards.

Groups are consistent.

Here’s my plan unless you think otherwise, adjust the pin for proper windage on broad head. Know that zero will hit left when practicing with field points…..

Its what everyone use to do, or what everyone I knew did.


The problem is its a sign your arrow isn't coming out perfectly straight, and its sucking energy out of the arrow correcting it.

An inch at 20 should be super easy to fix, move your rest like 1/64" to the right.


Guys that aren't getting pass through on animals, especially with mech heads are likely getting poor arrow flight, and thats the real issue, not the head.


If you are getting good arrow flight with BH, there's nothing to say you can't or shouldn't just sight in with your BH'S, but I prefer to have them hitting together as much for the confidence. Practice with FP and be comfortable with everything, put a BH on and know its going in the same hole.

I BH tune at 60 yards so that BH's and FP's hit together at that distance. Every time I do that, they're also super close at 20-50 as well. This way, you know your arrows are flying straight and there's very little correcting that the fletching needs to fix.

1) "Help recovering my animal!"
First sentence: I smoked em right in the boiler room, but can't find him.

2) "xyz broadhead penetration sucks!
First sentence: I smoked em right in the boiler room, but no blood trail.

3) "I need new fletching/shafts/broadheads"
First sentence: I smoked em right in the boiler room, but the arrow stopped halfway in and I couldn't find him.

Tune you arrows for good flight and you will get better broadhead penetration, a more forgiving window to shooter error and adverse conditions, confidence in yourself and equipment.

7-8" at 60 should be less than three yoke twists, or 1/4 - 3/4 turn of deadlock/set/LimbShift/PerfectTune, or less than 1/8" rest bump. Seems like a good idea of half an hour of your time to get as close to perfect result as possible.
