Well, I appreciate the viewers that caught my error!! Sometimes I make mistakes and I don’t mind admitting to it. We will note it here: When the broadhead impacts left of the fieldpoint, adjust your rest to the left until it shares the POl of the field point and VS versa. Always aim at the same spot as we did later in the video. Appreciate the viewers pointing this out and hope it doesn’t make the tuning process more confusing…. I’ve done this many many times the right way…. I am not sure why my brain was wired in reversed in this video.

I am started my first broadhead tune this week, and a lot of information out there tells that same backwards method. Luckily I found the correct info and was able to turn around about 30 minutes in. Thank you for at least correcting it! Better than most…

As a bow tech at a pro shop, and someone who's watched the channel for a long time... I love to see this! Awesome stuff Chris! I am a full believer in expandable heads so I actually really like to bareshaft tune, but still love to see this really in depth tuning on this channel! Love to see more!!

This by far is the best tuning video that I have watched! With having to redue my arrows due to broadheads not lining up with my fletching, (3 day before open archer in Wisconsin). I am shooting a new bow and thought that they would shoot the same as they did last year. This video helped me to learn a ton about how to tune my arrows. Thank you!!

I just broadhead tuned and broadhead was consistently about 3-4” left of the FP at 50 yds. I bumped my rest maybe 1/32-1/64 to the right (toward the FP) and then stacked my FP on top of my broadhead at 60 yds. There’s just so much confusion out there with some people saying everybody has to do it one way, and that’s it. I think your video is right, at least for my set up. I then checked each of my arrows with the same broadhead at 80yds to check each arrow’s consistency and there were 3 that didn’t group quite as good as the others and I think it may be due to me messing up when I spine aligned them. Either way thanks for the video!

I’d have to say this is wrong info from the point he shoots on foward, one you aim at the same spot not aim at the broadhead. Two you move the rest towards the broadhead and not the field point . If you have to take the rest more then an 1/8 to either side I’d say move the top hats/cams to correct the issue. Tip: if you wanna save your target from getting chewed bareshaft tune at 20-30 yards and it’ll get you super close without ruining your target

Well??? Any updates!!?? 😁 I’m in SV also and starting out bow hunting for the first time. Been target practicing for many years now.

For years I prefer using the method that Jim Burnsworth showed in a KZread video. Way before he made that video. Using a vertical line shoot a FP at 20 until you get sighted in by hitting the line ( he used a heavy cord weighted to be 100% vertical). Then step back to like 40 or 50 and shoot your broadhead of choice but aiming with your 20 pin at the twenty. The broadhead will naturally hit way lower but what you are looking for is if the broadhead hit the cord or line. Adjust the rest accordingly if it needs. Now go back to 20 and start over. You will eventually find the correct rest setting so that both type heads are hitting the line. Way more accurate than shooting at dots for windage. Naturally, you should already have a sight tape for that arrow or have the pins set on a multi pin for elevation.

For whomever it may concern. I'm terrible at stripping vanes with a knife. I rush myself and end up gouging carbon. Found out using a potato peeler take em right off all the glue 0 carbon. You need a flat peeler. Not all will work but I now need a new peeler for the kitchen because mine is in my shop haha

Mentioned blooper aside, if you shoot a broadhead into a 3D target, before trying to shoot that arrow with a FP, all you prove is that your FPs hit where you aim.. Fixed common aiming point for both arrows.

Outstanding explaintion on broadhead tuning. 👊

Could you go over your arrow setup? Grain per arrow etc?

Better to be over spine for hunting to help with impact paradox. And they’ll be bending less as they fly. You can also nock tune with broadheads. I’ve found that will often make broadheads and field points together. I haven’t had flight issues with solid fixed blades but I tune each arrow. Regardless thank you for talking about it. The more people tune their stuff the better we are as hunters.

nice video. Be careful pulling those broadheads out of the target. I had a stuck on suddenly come loose once and stuck it in my thigh about 2". LOL

That's good stuff 👍🏻👍🏻 out of curiosity what kind of chrono speed are you getting out of that setup?

I always use a nocked arrow when setting up my arrow rest and then when shooting to dial in the scope to get it set to get it dead center 👍

I've always wondered, though, why no one shoots a fletched field tip-arrow through paper again. Doing so after they've paper-tuned and then broadhead tuned their bow. To show if the tear is still a perfect bullet-hole or not. Just curious, and I will be doing so real soon. I've got good paper tear with all arrows when shot bare-shaft through paper and rotating nocks to get there when necessary. Now they're fletched, except for two, and I have bare-shaft tuned the bow to tightly group the pair of bare-shafts with the fletched ones. next is to check and correct the broadhead tuning. Once this is done, I plan to go back to the paper to see what's happened to the perfect paper tear I saw in the beginning.

All this is new to me. Trying to learn as much as I can. Love your channel. Do you sharpen the broad head after shooting targets with it? Or just use one broad head for tuning and grab a new one for hunting? Thanks.

I find that on four fletch rotating the nock to the next position gives u four opportunites to tune them. Usually can find a happy spot where they match

@nicolaalberti7736

9 ай бұрын

It happens with any number of fletching, or even with a bareshaft. With a 4 fletching configuration, you have one more position to rotate the nock compared to a 3 fletching configuration, of course.

That's backwards. You move the rest toward the broad head laterally and away from the broached vertically. Also, you shot the broadhead first and then aimed at the broadhead with the field point? That's not right. You need to aim at the same point for both.

No, he's right. This is how I tune my broadheads and it works.

Do you prefer a hang-on stand or a saddle? New to bow hunting and have no idea which to use. Feels like everyone is split 50/50 on them.

Which inserts are you shooting with the Vap tko? I’m using the standard 50 grain inserts and they seem like there not going to be very durable.

You won’t have issues being over spined. You can being under. Mathew’s are slower so I can understand 350s with that setup but any other bow I’d rather be slightly over spined than not.

What kind of broadheads should I use as a first-time bowhunter

So if my broadhead hits dead inline with field point but is high then I need to move my rest down? At 50 yards I experience my broadhead straight up from my field point about 6-8 inches.

I can get my micro hades 3 blades to hit with field point, I tried a solid 2 blade head and they hit about 6” high. What causes this? Also tried the g5 m3 and they also hit 6” high. Is it just the solid construction of the blades making them plane?

I am upgrading my compound bow from a hoyt Maxxis 31 to a hoyt RX1 Redwrx 🥳 like what you used to have 😎

Man... you will never ever .... ever ... convince me at ANY arrow length that a 340 spine is stiff enough to shoot on a 77lb draw weight bow. And if the "engineers" are saying that's fine or ok....I world question that. At that draw weight and length.....I world be shooting a 575gr to 625gr 250 spine arrow.

awesome video man!

Thank you Chris enjoy your videos

Bareshaft through paper is a waste. Changes the dynamic spine of the arrow. Try a bareshaft, the try the SAME arrow with fletching and see what happens. The fletched arrow will tear/not shoot a bullet hole. Having the rest as close to centershot as possible is extremely important, especially with fixed blades. Watch videos of Tim Gillingham to get more in depth information.

You said you're a 28" draw, but (I may have missed it?) how long are your arrows cut to, and what inserts are you using?

Do you arrow tune before u start your broadhead tuning

Inside out precision does this BEST

Love your content. I have a question. Is there a reason you don’t have monkey tails on that bow or is it a personal preference?

Broadheads plane if not shot perfectly straight out of the bow. Left broadheads group means move the arrow rest right, like you said in the first place. Up and down via knock point is the opposite if you move your d ring (broadheads low, lower knock point (or raise rest)). This is what the Easton charts show. If I (and Easton) am wrong, can someone explain why?

Why do you recommend taking a perfectly tuned arrow and bow (using a field point) out of tune to get the broadhead and field point hitting together?? Why would you not tune your broadhead arrow and adjust your sight accordingly.
