Toped?[

NOT! Just a starting point.
Ahhhh, the easy way out.
I think Rack put it best. They don' t need to aline with the fletch. They must spin true with no wobble at all. Your bow must be well tuned. Even if you choose a mechanical. And finally, YOU MUST PRACTICE WITH THEM!
And also like Rack; Why is this pinned to the top?

The best way to see how well your bow is tuned is paper tuning
Mechanicals are very good. Remember, the bow you are shooting is a mechanical bow, not a traditional bow. At 70 lbs you have enough KE for mechanicals.

RE: what do you mean by " tune" my broadheads
Good advice here footballyplaya. Listen, you tune your bow to shoot as well as it can for you right? Well, there really is no big mystery with tuning broadheads! Tune your bow for shooting broadheads just as you were for shooting field points. 9 times out of ten a fixed blade may shoot a little lower than your field points. Generally, lowering the nock just a hair can cure that problem. Thats just one thing that may take place shooting a fixed blade.
As I said, thats whats close to 90% of shooting broadhead problems begin with. Shooting bullet holes is nice, but paper tuning is just a starting point for me and I hardly ever shoot a bullet hole. I prefer the best groups I can get out to 50-60 yards(tiller tuning). I also have my Muzzys shooting in exactly the same place as my field points. You need some help from a pro shop or experienced shooter who can give you some personal attention.
