I just dont understand why if I use my aluminums with the same broadheads, they hit right with the field points on the carbons and on the aluminums????

RE: Broadheads hitting low
But explain why I can shoot one carbon with a practice tip, one alluminum with a practice tip, and they will hit the area im shooting at, I shoot one aluminum with a broadhead and one carbon with a broadhead, the aluminum will hit exactly where I want and the carbon will hit 3-4 inches lower...but yes they are different diameters. My carbons are Easton Excell St 400's and the aluminums are Easton 2314's.

Your carbons are probably a different diameter than your aluminum arrows. That would cause the realtionship between the arrow and the string to change.

Yes, as Arcus Venator said, the arrow is probably at a different angle to the string. It doesn't take much with that broadhead on there. It will really take any little detail that is 'off' and magnify it.

RE: Broadheads hitting low
So instead of changind my nocking point which then in turn would change my anchor point Id be better off moving my WB, but now which way woudl i move it up or down, I beleive id move it down correct?

RE: Broadheads hitting low
The amount of movement needed will not change your anchor point significantly. You are talking about moving the nock pt down 1/8" or thereabouts.
If you can't get past the idea, and must move the rest, move it UP. Think of it like this, your bh's are hitting low because your arrow is pointed slightly down at launch. You need to either move the bh up, or move the nock end down.

RE: Broadheads hitting low
I had to do this on my bow today as well. I was right on at 20 yds. but 4-5" low at 30. I made two simple adjustments (moved my bisquit up slightly each time) and then I was right on.
The arrows may be hitting differently because they probly have a different spine too I would bet. I would pick one of them and then tune it in.
