Fixed blades r not flyin right?

[robhunt]

I am shooting my carbon terminators with the new muzzy mx3 100 grain. The field points fly perfect but the broadheads go 4 inch to the right. Any suggestions. I just switched over from aluminum. Let me know any little detail or trick I should try
Thanks

Did you paper tune your bow when you switched to carbon? That would be the first thing I would try to make sure everything is right.

[robhunt]

I shoot field points perfect dead center every time. I shoot squirrels alot with field points but the muzzys do not fly right still. I group them every time.

rob, the difference between grouping well and actually having your arrows papertuned can make a world of difference. you will never know if your arrows are lets say tail high to the right if you dont papertune them and thats with the field points on.First things first you need to make sure your arrow spine is correct and then if it is go ahead and adjust accordingly. if the tail is high or low you can adjust that with the height of your nock or rest. and you can adjust the left or right sway with the windage adjustments on your rest. its all a bunch of trial and error but you will get it eventually.

Should I make the blades line up with the fletchings like my old alluminums?

[KILBO]

Line up the blades with your fletchings and as long as the broadheads are grouping just move your sights. It's not uncommon for fixed blades to group in a different spot than field point. I shoot Muzzy's too and when I change from field points they group 4 inches high/ 3 inches right of the bullseye everytime I put broadheads on my arrows. Kinda stinks moving your sights but once you do your good to go.:thup:

[robhunt]

Do you guys take the time to broadhead tune ? Like messing with your rest and sights?

Like Kilbo said if the broadheads are grouping good. Move your pin...
As for tuning broadheads screw em on, then spintest them. If there is no wobble they will fly true. Muzzies can be tough because of the nature how they go together. If they group move the pin till you are center punching the target and forget it.

i shot the same ones as you like the other guys are saying move your pin and you will be fine

What size fletching are you using most fixed blades shoot a lot better with 4 in rather then 2 in

[robhunt]

2 inch

[w8n4adeer]

you want to chase the field points with your rest. since your broadheads are shooting right of your field tips then move your rest a tad to the left and shoot a few broadheads and a field tip around 20 yards. some people say shoot the field tip and then the broadheads but i like it the other way around that way you dont destroy as many arrows. keep chasing until they group together and then shoot from further back to finer tune it and your bow will be broadhead tuned. all you have to do now is sight it in. this method is actually better than paper tuning imo. any other questions let me know

[robhunt]

Thanks I will try it. But my other question is I can't get my blades to line up with the fletchings. How can I turn them to make them line up.

[deerslayersean]

Don't worry about it switch to 4 ince vanes 2 in don't give enought stability for a bulky broadhead

[robhunt]

I shoot agood group it's just 8 inches to the left.

[w8n4adeer]

To get your broadheads lined up with the fletching it is best to do it as you glue the inserts. Put the head on an insert add glue and put it in the shaft and align. If you have inserts already glued to the shaft and it was done with hot glue you could screw the head in the insert heat the head with a lighter until it is first able to align and stop heating. Careful not to burn yourself use leather gloves. If you didn't use hot glue the only other way is to use a spacer.

[ropaque]

you could also put a rubber o ring like the ones used for mechanicals in between your broadhead and your shaft it gives you a little play to align vaines and blades. but like said before paper tune the bow and you'll be money.. so money and you won't even know it.

[robhunt]

I tried the thing where you chase your field points. It's a little better. But I shot so much I did not want to get to tired so I just worked on my form.

[w8n4adeer]

glad to hear. sometimes it takes an adjustment up or down to go right or left its wierd but keep playing with it just a mm at a time and eventually it will be shooting nice. its a lot better than paper tuning imo because if your broadheads shoot exactly where your field points hit as far as you feel comfortable shooting then that arrow is flying straight the whole way. you can paper tune a bow from 6 yards out and think its flying straight but it may have just been straight at the time it hit the paper and then tailed. you should also get a better grouping this way rather than just moving your pins to how your broadheads shoot. not to mention you would have to practice with expensive broadheads all the time.

[robhunt]

Yeah I got a pair of practice blades but i sacraficed a real one and it flew the same. Thanks
