Help with Accuracy - Wednesday, March 12, 2008 4:24 PM ( #1 )
Anyone know of any fixed blade broadheads that fly like field points? No matter what broadhead I use seems like I have to change up my sights everytime.

Magnus 100 grain 2 blades seem to fly good.

cobowhunter, paper tune the bow.  that might just take care of all your troubles.  had the same troubles til I paper tuned, and since then, all my broadheads fly fine.  but to answer your question, try the NAP hellrazors.  and the magnus 4 blades fly good also.
when out bear hunting, make sure you are at least faster than the slowest person in your party!!!

I shoot the G5 Montecs (100gr), and they shoot just like my fieldpoints.
As stated, the key is in really fine tuning the rest and nocking point.  Paper tuning is the best way I know to do this, but you can finish it off with very small adjustments as you shoot broadheads.  You can usually adjust to shoot BHs the same as FPs.

TLC makes a good point.  First and foremost get your bow shooting straight with your arrows leaving the bow without fishtailing (arrow moving side-to-side) or porpoising (arrow moving up-and-down) and you'll be well on your way to fixing your accuracy problems.
 
Broadheads:  There are a lot of good broadheads out there, and I used the same head for 20-plus years until I got the opportunity to shoot the 125-grain, 3-bladed STRIKER and my opinion on broadheads completely changed.  This head flies BETTER than my field points, and I'm not joking!  I honestly don't like to shoot field points any longer.  When I head over to my buddy's house to shoot from a tree stand at 3D targets I am using the STRIKERS exclusively.  Unbelievable accuracy! 
 
I did make sure my bow was in tune and initially shot the broadheads that I had used for many years with mixed results in accuracy UNTIL I made the change to the STRIKERS.  Now, my broadhead-tipped arrows fly the same, if not better, than my field points.  I NEVER thought I would achieve such consistency with a broadhead-tipped arrow.  Just remember that every set-up and everyone's shooting style various.  What works for some might not work for others.
 
My current set-up: Hoyt Vectrix XL, 78 pounds, XX78 Super Slams, drop away rest, Montana Flashpoint sight, G5 META Peep sight and G5 125-grain, 3-bladed STRIKERS and a Carter Quicke 2 release.
 
Take care and Good Hunting!
 
Best Afield,

I never was one for trying to get broadheads and field points to fly the same. IMO its a total waste of time.
 
1st off you hunt with the broadheads, not the field tips.  Just get your bow setup intially with the field tips then switch to the broadheads and sight in with them and leave them in place.
 
I have a set of broadheads that I use for practice and only practice, when it comes time to hunt I just switch to the hunting set.  Eliminates the monkeying with the sight.
 
I use field tips exclusively on my tournament setup and it only.

Luckily my bow shoots the field tip and broad heads the same. Never really had a big difference.

I agree with the above. A well tuned bow should always put FPs and BH in the same spott.

I know this answer may not be the one you like, but I just had to buy several different broadheads to see which one flew truest to my setup.  I know that may get expensive but that is the only way.

As with bullets are the arrows and broad-heads you have to try a few before the best is found.  Unfortunately what works for bob may not work for tom.  So the best advice is to find someone else that is looking for broad heads also and each of you buy a couple packs and share then you can cover twice the broad-heads and no one has to buy all of them.

It is atleast worth asking, the worst  they can say is no.
