depends really.. some broad heads fly different then tips.
I would actually practice with what you plan to shoot at game with and make any adjustments using them.
I have had good luck with reapers and slick tricks flying with my field tips but still make sure things are dialed in with the head of choice I am hunting with,

You also need to make sure you can spin your arrows with braodheads on them and get no wobble. If there is wobble then the heads are not aligned well with the shaft and can cause arrows to veer off course during flight.
And YES, you should shoot the exact heads you intend to hunt with to ensure that they fly well and hit where you aim. You should also resharpen or change blades after doing so so that they are sharp for hunting.
I would say that if your arrows with broadheads are grouping well, but have only a slight difference in POI then I'd gang adjust the sight a bit. It depends partly on how well you understand tuning and how close your hunting season is, but next year don't wait so long. Do it a month before season.

If you have a well tuned bow and good heads you shouldn't . The broad head will enhance any slight tuning problem .
Shoot some broad heads to verify how they are shooting . If off make small adjustments and you can get the two to hit together

Maybe not for you half..but for thousands of other shooters who know how to tune a bow. Sorry but you CAN get BH and FT to hit the same POI provided the BHs are true to begin with. Which is what you will have with most modern BHs. The older styles like the Snuffer and Zwickey you may have problems with.

I think it depends on a few factors.. For one what size broadheads are you shooting compared to fieldpoint wieghts? The wieght difference alone will make a hugh difference in your shots hitting the mark. Wide broadheads or narrow braodheads? Which are you shooting? They tend to fly a little different with the wider broadheads verses the more narrow ones. Are you shooting an older bow or a newer bow? Which brings in the question of alluminum arrows or graphite? My older bow would shoot a hole lot different between broadheads and fieldpoints while my newer bow shoots pretty much the same with either one. How ever I am using a lot lighter broadheads today than what I had done back then. Also my bow today is a lot smoother and faster than my older bow of yesterday. So more info is needed on whether it will make a difference or not. I also very much agree with the notion of practicing with your broadheads before the hunt.
