stumped- ST broadheads 2.5 inch left and 1 inch low compared to FP
Folks,
Been shooting for the past several weeks. I thought things were going well so I decided to put on a broadhead to verify. To my horror, they hit 2 1/2 inches left and 1 inch low. Last year they were spot on. The broadheads are slick tricks, 125 gr.
I am shooting a Darton Avalanche, 65-68 lbs with Beman ICS hunter 340's. Any suggestions would be great.

Broadhead tune...you are probably very close on your setup, but not perfect.

WV Hunter, thanks. after posting I actually saw this on archery talk. It is a great guide. Being a relative newbie, I am learning how to adjust the different components of the bow. I now have to go back and figure out how to adjust the rest. wish me luck

Thanks handles. i want perfection. I gut shot a doe last year, but did find her and I don't want that to happen again. I, like all bowhunters, want a quick kill, so i want the BH to fly like the FP. So, you think 2.5 L and 1 down is a small issue, easily corrected?

Your fp impact will change so be ready for that. You will get it with a bit of time! Good luck

I just got done correcting the same issue...end result is it is quite suprising how out of tune your bow can get....
I started with paper tuning and was tail high and right...adjusted my rest accordingly(essentially chasing tear direction with adjustments) until I was shooting bullet holes. I then resighted my FP's in. Once complete with the resight I checked BH's at same distance - money. I then compared Muzzy, ST, and Thunderhead out of curiosity and whalah they are flying amazing and dead money to my FPs...seems and sounds too good to be true.. Next I verified POI out to 40 yards and was in line and on... Happiest I ever have been after shooting broadheds right now.
