Yes, it will move where your field points are hitting. The idea is to have broadheads and fieldpoints group at the same point of impact. Once you achieve that, then move the sights, not before.

Paper tune the bow first, that may solve the problem.

RE: Broadhead tuning
Did you read through my link? you have to paper tune before you do anything. After that you mus understand that anyting you do will change the impact point of your arrows in relation to your sight's. Therefore after paper tuning you need to shoot at very close range at first to get your pins set so your on target, then move back to longer ranges and see how you heads hit. At that point you make very very minor adjustments. You also need to have good arrows, spined correctly with enough helical or ofset on the vanes or feathers to control the arrow.

But I have seen a whole bunch of people paper tune and then shoot BH's and have to make a bunch of adjustments.

RE: Broadhead tuning
Broadhead tuning and paper tuning are 2 different things and will have 2 different results .
I like to hunt , and shoot fixed broadheads , broadhead tuning is the litmus test for me , paper tuning a waist of time , havent done it since I learned it was a useless exersise .
Broadhead tuning ,
If, you , your bow , and your arrow are close to being tuned when you move your rest slightly left to right , your field tipped arrow will move slighlty on the target but the broadhead tipped arrow "of the same weight" will move in the same direction but a futher distance , say at twenty yards the field point arrow moves 2 inches , the broadhead tipped arrow "should" move 4 inches in the same direction . Same for vertical movement .If your bow is not tuned well , If you are over bowed , if your arrows dont spine match your bows power very closely or are too weak of a spine , and your form is not consistant , good grip , consistant , and so on , broadhead tuneing will give you fitts .
