    My field points are hitting center bull with very tight groups at 20yds. I am getting the same size groups with broadheads but intact is 2-3" right of bull. So I moved the rest out away from the bow no more than 1/16". Shot a couple tight groups with broadheads at the bill and hit where I aimed. Put field tips back on arrows and am shooting a good tight group 4" left of bull. Not sure what to do from here. Shooting a Z7 with 350 maxima hunters

    Take and give your Left side yoke a half twist and right side yoke out half a twist. Well actually first take a use an arrow and make sure you don't have drastic cam lean. then make sure your center shot is set and then go from there. If your center shot is set then you can fix the problem just playing with your yoke a half twist at a time to bring FP and BH together.

    So I am having almost the same problem only vertical I am about 4" low at 20yds compared to my fp's. Same arrow, weight and everything. What would need adjusting I have been told everything from d-loop, rest, rotating broadheads, to mor fletching offset. Now I am totally confused.

    Go back and set your center shot, make sure the arrow aligns with the string. After center shot is set do not move your rest. The tuning guide would say you have a weak spine when broadhead tuning, so first thing I would do is lower the poundage of my bow and go from there. Also make sure you try different yardages. Good luck.

    Sounds like you need to do one of a few things, Give your bottom limb an half turn or so in; move your rest up a dight; move your nock point down a dight.

    Thanks guys I went back and paper tuned by bow nock point was too high and rest was off to the right. Shooting tighter groups with fp's and broadheads now hitting same spot. Was a little intimidated to paper tune but easton archery site has great paper tune tutorial. help my dad with his bow after mine was done.
