Need Help Selecting Broadheads

I have a Reflex Highlnader bow set at 64 pounds and I am shooting a 29 inch Beman Hunter 400 arrow. I have my first pin set at 20 yards and I am dead on at that range with a 100 grain practice tip. When I put my 100 grain mechanical broadhead I am shooting 3 inches low. I did not shoot my broadhead at 30 yards, but I am guessing that it will be a lot lower at that range.

I was just wondering if this is normal or if there are some broadheads that shoot the same as the practice tips?

Should I just adjust my sights or should I change broadheads?

Can you give me the name of the broadheads that you use?

The longer ferrule taper of the mechanical head could be affecting the weight toward the front of the arrow, thereby affecting your FOC percentage, which could explain the difference in trajectory with the same weight tips. Try using a longer tapered field point.....they are available at keystonecountrystore.com and Cabelas. All things appear equal except your elevation..... I would try shooting them at 30 yds, and if there is no difference in windage, I would re-adjust my sights to my broadheads..... being that its so close to opening day. My choice in broadheads are magnus stingers......they fly identicle to my practice points. Just make sure to spin your arrows to determine if the inserts are tuned to the shaft when using fixed blade broadheads.

tune your bow, go to www.archerytalk.com and search for tuning, you will find alot of information that will help you get them hitting in exactly the same hole.

I agree with ED. You need to spin test your arrows with the broadhead on it. If it wobbles at all, you need to make the proper adjustments if you want to be consistent downrange. A properly tuned set up is way more imprortant than what brand of broadhead you shoot.

brew, i shoot a 75 gr. wolverine 3P by rocket. its a 3 blade mechanical. fairly short and shoots precisely like the field tips. my first pin is good up to 35 yrds and i hit a big doe at 38. i belive i cut her heart or aorta or both. it was on the money.

Sounds like a tuning problem to me. Almost all mechanical broadheads fly exactly like field points unless bow is way out of tune. This sounds like your nock point is way high. You need to properly shoot it through paper from two feet and then five feet. I bet your arrow is flying tail high. Sounds like you may have rest contact also. You really need an expert to give it a quick check and verify your problem.

First let me say that the first thing you need to do is paper tune your field points to see if your bow is tuned. If you are short on cash take a cardboard box, shoe box works just fine, cut out the bottom so all you have is a rectangle or square hole, tape paper to the outside of the box, pull it tight, then shoot your arrow through the paper up against it, then at 10 yards then at 20 yards. All you should see is a small hole from the arrown and the fletching holes, if your paper is torn, left, right, up or down you have a tuning problem, if the hole is ok then you have a broadhead problem. Also do all of your broadheads shoot low? It may be an arrow/broadhead combo.
