I started shooting my broad heads today and their shooting consistantly to the left of my field point. I've shot a bunch this morning and my field points are shooting consistantly dead on other than a stray flyer here and there. But my broad heads are always left, up and down is good, just always left. This is at 25 yards. my question is, how do I tune the rest for this? I'm no good at tuning these dang things so i ain't really sure. Bowtarist told me a while back but I can't remeber. I think i need to move the rest to the right, chase the field points, in small amounts, like a 1/16" at a time, correct?

Danged if I know, I got about the same problem. My broad heads of the same weight field points shoot about 4-6" low.

I've killed a few with a bow back in the day, but never got serious about it. And dont get too much field time down here on the outskirts of hell.

Maybe some experts will weigh in here shortly.

No, move your sight to the left, If you're shooting high then move the sight up, low/down and etc. so move your sight left.

First off what is your setup? bow, draw length, poundage,arrow length and spine what type of broadheads and what is the weight of field point and broadheads

Chase the fieldpoint is correct. 1/16 at a time to the right should get it fixed.

There's a tuning guide in that thread. Very helpful. Also, make sure your are at full draw and you aren't torquing the bow as you release.

I've never had fixed blade broadheads fly exactly like field points. They're normally close but I still always have some adjusting to do. Now with mechanicals it's different, they shoot identical to my field points. No matter what broadheads im using I will still always shoot a few practice heads just to be sure. If you're shooting fixed blade heads you probably will have to make some minor adjustments when sighting in. And don't be one of those guys who shoots field points all summer, and has his bow dialed in with them, then a few days before season shoot a practice fixed blade head and your arrow is 2" high and 2" left and think that's close enough!! At 30 and 40 you could miss the deer or even worse, wound one. There's plenty out there like that! And when you are sighting in your bow, always follow the arrow. If you're shooting left, adjust your sights to the left, or if you're shooting low move your sights low. Shoot straight and good luck this fall.

Yep, move the rest to the right. Your field point impacts will move right as well, but the broadheads will make bigger moves.

Thanks I work on it tomorrow an see what I can do with it

My bad, I was thinking sight not the rest. disregard my previous post.

Shaw, sight, or rest? I was of the opinion that once the rest is set, you adjust with the sight.
Another question I have is how tight should my wisker bisquit fit the arrow?? I changed arrows and it seem loose now, enough that if I don't make sure it is in the bottom of the hole I will get a flyer.

Move the rest not the site. You want to have the bow tuned, not adjust the site to compensate for bad tuning.

This

Correct. Once you have broadheads and fieldpoints hitting together you can move your sight.
Also, like said above, be sure you are not torquing with your grip. If you are, it'll show up in your broadheads and it may not with fieldpoints or mechanicals.

If you are in love with your broadhead selection, take advice of experts above. If not, get some slick tricks and save the trouble.

I've never adjusted my rest, but then again I've never tuned nor paper tuned my bow.

I had similar issues last year. Have you ever shot a bare shaft? If so, what were the results?

My results showed I was torquing the bow. After working on my form and tweaking the rest, I could shoot a bare shaft at 30 yds and it would fly like a dart!

So naturally, if your bare shaft can do that, then a fixed BH should fly straight too (the vanes aren't having to make any corrections)

Hope that makes sense

Slick Tricks have be tuned as well. Some broadheads are easier to tune. It's been my experience that Slicks are the easiest and Muzzy are the most difficult. That's just from my own personal experience, so don't any of you Muzzy shooters get offended.

I don't shoot Muzzy, but I'm offended.

Good.....
