About to start broadhead tuning- what’s y’all’s go to distance to dial it in? I’ve used 30 and 40 for the most of the time but was wondering what others do
I like to go back as far as I can and still keep everything on the target. It makes my corrections and problems stand out more. Sometimes, I have to start closer and then move back farther.
first and foremost- confirm ata, timing, and center shot. Usually check center shot out to 40-50 with fp.
Start at 40 with BH use yokes/shim if it’s way off. Move to 50 dial in with rest, then same for 60. Should only be minor rest adjustments at 50/60. Somewhere between 60-80 (depending on bow/arrow) bh start hitting lower, so I usually don’t mess with anything past 60.

I always do most of the the tuning at 40 as I am still very proficient at this distance. Once I am happy with that, I go back to 80 which is beyond where I would ever shoot an animal and do fine tuning from there.
About the farthest distance I’m willing to shoot. You just have to note that broadheads will have more friction and wants to drop faster than field point. I try to get them perfect at 50-60 vertically.
For both compound and traditional gear, I shoot to the yardages that I am willing to realistically shoot at a live animal. Which is 13 less yards than a field point for trad and 30 less for compound for me
