    I'm not getting my grizz2's to line up great with my field points, even after a great paper tune. I know there are other tweeks to fine tune, but as a quick solution.......should I move the sight to where the grizz are hitting or move the rest to where they should be hitting where I aim at ?

    Neither. How are the broad heads spinning on the arrows?

    If I had to make a guess I would say you're looking at an untuned arrow, torque, or both. Really, any bow that is properly tuned will shoot any fixed blade with the same POI as your field tips.

    Good consistent tears through paper but my grizz2's keep hitting low and right at 20 yds. Could it be my blazer vanes not having enough performance to steer a 4 blade fixed blade head, it's an inch and a quarter cut diameter

    If a field point tipped arrow leaves the bow straight enough to make a great tear then I assume another arrow differently tipped with the same arrow goes off course then it's the head doing the steering. Moving the rest would throw the bow alignment off with the field point/ideal flight pattern paper tear. Maybe moving the sight to the broadhead arrow mark is best? I don't have any to try but I believe a mechanical would fly like my field points do since they're both made with less metal to plane through the air. If there's any wide diameter, fixed blade shooters out there what have you done to get your arrows hitting together ?

    What's your draw weight, draw length, arrow length and arrow spine? I'll assume 100gr heads???

    I know it sounds funny but some heads don t shoot the same as field points.(My experience)
