    I worked and worked and worked on Bruteesha today and finally got her to tear a fairly good hole through some old Xmas wrapping paper. I re sighted in my pins and was shooting arrows stacked on top of eachother with field points at 20yds..............AS SOON AS I PUT one of my NAP Thunderheads on (same weight as the field points) now my arrows fly 2-3 inches high and to the left.........WHAT IS GOING ON ????????? I put a shwacker tip on and it groups like the field point but the NAP's fly differently. Please someone enlighten me :( IMAG0006.jpg

    my 100 grain Thunderheads fly great they hit right with my field tips. are all of your blades in tight. Im not sure but i imagine that could effect your flight.

    I had a similar problem. Could be to stiff a arrow.

    Reset centershot with french tune. Do a search of my post. I've explained it several times.

    Looks like your torquing the grip or you have some cam lean. Need to twist the yokes to fix it.


    You may have a spine issue as well but if your shooting a loop and get the centershot correct and the cam lean correct,the spine isn't as critical.

    Curious... Did you paper tune from more than one distance? Even a wobbling arrow can have a sweet spot where it seems to be flying true through the paper at a given range. I think someone mentioned that earlier. If you are only off 2-3 inches, you are getting close... just move the BH tipped arrow toward your field tip... ever so slightly and I bet you will dial right in. The paper tune is seldom the final tune but it gets you really close which you are.

    Sounds close, you have it paper tuned good but not broadhead tuned. You need to lower your rest just a hair (if you are sure you dont have fletch contact) and if you are right handed you need to raise your draw weight or point weight as your arrow is too stiff. Cutting them an inch longer would help as I believer you arent left by too much going by what you said.
