Default shoot like my field points..who cares?

All
Hope your season is going well, just curious as to whyso manypeople are concerned with their broadheads grouping with their field points??? It seems to me you dont hunt with your field points so why be so concerned with field point grouping unless you want to save your archery target from some wear and tear. You read alot of postsabout this subject any thoughts?

Whenmy broadheads group withmy fieldpoints it indicates that I have my bow tuned the way I want it and that my setup (bow AND arrows) will be most forgiving under adverse circumstances.

Among other things there are those of us who like to shoot all the time without having to move our sights around. As mentioned, a bow is not properly tuned till both points hit the same place. A well tuned bow shoots more consistently (forgiving), faster, and more quietly.

Question. Do you ever practice during the hunting season? I have been shooting 50 arrows a day6 days a week, and I don't practice my form with broadheads.

I agree, A well tuned hunter does not need a well tuned BOW

So if your bow is properly tuned with your broadheads/field points why would have to move your sights around???

Your kidding right?

Thats like putting jeff gordan in a go kart and saying a well tuned driver doesn't need a well tuned race car

IMO if a hunter is not shooting well a tuned Bow, they aren't considered a well tuned hunter

Once feildpoints & broadheads are all hit'n the same point of impact you will need to move your sights to that POI...After your re-sighted in to that POI then you can switch from BH to FP and not have to move your sight..
