Hunting and Fishing in NJ - A forum for NJ Hunters and NJ Anglers

I love the rage broadheads as well. They shoot just about like field tips but come hunting season I adjust my sites for broadheads. I always have to do some tweaking.

Are you open to expandable broadheads??? If so, there are a lot of great heads on the market and you will not have to adjust anything, they shoot like your fieldpoints. I bought a new bow in Dec of 2010, I was shooting expandables but I could not get the bow to paper tune... after the season I brought the bow back to the shop... one of the quad limbs of the bow was bad! If I was shooting fixed blades I would have never finished my season with that bow, it took a couple weeks for the limb swap... one of the biggest worries is if the blades will open, all of the heads I have tried open and I watch a lot of deer drop... I also shoot chucks and squirrels with a crossbow using expandables, you know they are tough if a 165 LB crossbow blows a bolt through a squirrel and into the ground and your blades are not snapped and you can use them on another!

pretty much have to adjust sites and re-practice...

I was able to tune my switchback for whatever broadheads I was shooting a few years ago but it was basically "out of tune" for both broadheads and field points - they just landed in the same-ish place (but the paper looked bad and i'm sure there were other issues).

Best to shoot with what your going to use year round - but that means broadheads year round...

So either suck it up and use expandables which should be very close, retune for your broadhead arrows, change sites or just shoot broadheads all the time...

I know there will be some who disagree with me here but I've yet to see broadheads ever fly the same - it just isn't aerodynamically possible. Sorry!
