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.

Broadhead tune

Its go time.

Stop d!cking around and just move your sight.

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.

Moving your sight as mentioned above will not fix your problem. You will just be missing in the opposite direction. This is a tuning issue or you are using an non forgiving broadhead.

Just bump the rest like 1/32" to the right.

Even if you're hitting behind the pin it's still not good enough if your arrow is coming out sideways.

Sounds like a very minor rest/tuning system adjustment will fix this AND improve arrow flight/performance. Mark your current settings with a pencil/write down what you do so you can at least get back to your starting point, but really a tiny adjustment should be all you need.

Move your rest. I just had the same issue and got them grouping together by moving the rest. And like above folks said, move it in small increments.

Without knowing your setup its hard to give complete advice. All of the posts advising to essentially tune your bow so the BH and FP hit together are spot on. Obviously, there is a few different ways to accomplish this. Your setup would determine what options are actually available to you. Moving the pins would likely be the last option on my list.

Yep, good post.

Shooting a wobbly arrow affects arrow performance AND accuracy.....best to just fix it with BH tuning.
