Title: Not happy where broadheads are hitting
Post by: DavidTwyman on September 02, 2012, 09:01:00 PM
I've been shooting the best I've been the last month than ever before and filling real confident about the up coming season. I screwed my broadheads in today to start praticing with them and here is what happened. I was hitting excattly where I wanted to out to 15 yds but when I steped back to 20 I started hitting about 3 to 4 inches low, left and right was good. I shoot a 150 grain broadhead and 145 grain field tip so there should be no issue there. Do you guys think it is a tunning problem or what? I didn't shoot any further back since I wasn't satisfied with 20 yds I knew if I did I would be even more aggrevated. Any help guys would be great.

just a matter of readjusting nock height!  If the broadheads are shooting low then lower the nock height just a tad a a time untill everything comes back to center(ie: broadheads and feild points)

If you're flying well left to right just hitting low i would guess its a knocking point issue.  Could also be a little peeking I know some times when I first screw those BH's in I'm a little anxious to see where they hit.  Good luck Joe

Ditto the last two. I think your probably good to go just move the nock a touch

Did you shoot some of your field points along with the broadheads. I'd be real careful about changing anything right away until I eliminated the possibility of human error.

Like Charlie said. If you shoot the broadheads and field tips  and the broadheads  are cosistantly lower then is time to move the nocking point down till they come together.

When I hit low left it is usualy me peeking and not following through until the arrow is in the target. It is possible to move the arrow off target even before it clears the shelf thus the exagerated follow through. Works for me.

Try not to watch your arrow in flight, You maybe droppong your arm to watch the flight.

I agree with what the other's have said about trying to watch the arrow in flight and dropping the bow arm. I also found that if I don't maintain back tension on release this also makes my arrow drop.

I also found out through broadhead shooting that when I pluck at the release, my arrow does a nice little corkscrew all the way to the target.

same problem I had a couple yrs. ago.....for me it was human error:  I was not used to that broadhead being in my peripheral vision and was lifting my head up slightly and then was peaking to make sure they were flying right.....luckily a friend was close who was able to watch me and point out what I was doing.......
So---same as Charlie Lamb said: make sure there is no human error involved before changing anything..
