yea... I know. first thing the bh wasn't tuned with the arrow. 2nd. I WAS USUNG THE **** vane I set for my FP / mechs. Plust I mighta moved a little. Human error coulda been the problem. Also have a 2degree offset on the fletching. These three factors i'm sure played a big part. I havea 115gr brass insert, but I believe the BH"s were only 100 or 125gr. But that 25gr could have made the difference. My scales quit working so I couldn't weigh anything anyeither. got to get another set online somewhere, Thanks for the input.

I once got into a 'spirited discussion w/ a poster on here over the diff in poi at 30 [6"] being due to a slipped in 125 gr vs 100 gr.point. I had my suspicions 'cause my Zwickey Grapplers weigh 20 gr and didn't change my poi on turkey setup.

I knew I had a couple 125 points off some Bnett arrows. Benched, at 30, the shafts were touching. Twice in a row. There was no planing possibility, however.

I'm glad to see you working the bugs out now, beats the alternative by a bunch! Hope you gig a gagger.

right... I figured it would hit either right or left since it wasn't really "tuned". Another thing is those fixed blade BH's may have been heavier than I thought. I need a new scale going to buy one on Ebay tonight.

Thanks! You too. You've all been a tremendous help getting setup and giving advice and answering questions. I really do appreciate your willingness to help me out. I've learned alot from you these last few years.
