Yes I know this has been answered probibly 1000 times but I never paid much attention cause it wasen't me with the problem. Now it is and my broadheads are hitting 6 in to the leftand 8 in low. Now what do I take it to the bow shop and have then put the lazer on it?

You don't say what distance this amount of planeing occurs at. That is extreme if you're inside 25 yards and a sign of a bow that is not tuned correctly and/or arrows that are not matched well to your setup. Spine could be off. Nock height is probably not correct.

Have you bareshaft tested (field tips only) to match the arrows spine? Have you walk-back tuned while shooting your broadheads?

Mike, before you take your bow to the shop try moving your nock set. Loosen the set that you can turn it on the serving. Move it down a turn at a time until impact with your broadheads is even with your field tips. Don't be too concerned about sight adjustment at this time. Just move the set until impact is the same. This should correct both the low and left impact. You will need to readjust your sights when both tips impact the same.

Listen to Sniper. And don't move your sight till you get it tuned. Moving the sight to correct for a tuning problem is not the answer. Once you have the bow tuned you'll gain penetration potential too because your arrows will be flying straighter.

It sounds to me like your nocking point may be about 1/8" too high. Work on this first. After you have both field points and broadheads hitting the same height then work on the horizontal. It may take a centershot adjustment or maybe even changing the weight of the bow. It all depends on the setup. But once you get both heads hitting the same POI----then you readjust the sight.
