I have a Pheonix x-bow. I am using the Wasp broadheads and field tips that came with my scoped "right stuff pkg". some have told me i gotta sight in with a broadhead to test my bows accuracy.
i thought the whole idea with practicing with 100gr field tips then using 100gr broadheads was that you wouldn't have to do that.
is that broadhead going to fly that much different?
if anyone has tested their Pheonix with a field tip vs broadhead......curious to know how much it dropped, if any!

Sometimes you get lucky and your broadheads will hit where your feild points do, other times they may hit an inch low, or 2 inches right.. What is important is that they fly consistant, that allows you to make proper adjustments.
Good luck!

bheads dont fly the same normally because they are either wider or longer than the fieldpoints you use. Which throws the balance slightly forward which will normally cause the bolt/arrow to hit a inch or 2 lower. Or the blades on the head catch the wind and cause the bolt to drift right or left. Fieldpoints are so small in size that wind and other factors dont bother them, espically at longer distances. I only practice with bheads around the last 2 weeks before season starts.
be best 2 heads ive tested that fly try to fieldpoints are the rage and slicktrick heads...

change to the slicks...screw em' on, balance the head with the washer and go...these heads shoot consistently with the field points out past 40 yards...crazyfarmer wrote:bheads dont fly the same normally because they are either wider or longer than the fieldpoints you use.

I am still using the broadheads that came with my bow as well. They hit about 1/4 inch low at 25 yards from where the field points do. Not even enough to change the scope. It would make a bigger difference at longer distance, but being my first year with archery equipment, it's 25 yards or closer only.
