    My broad heads shoot about 4-6" lower than my field tips. I've heard of broadhead tuning but dont know much about it. Should I just adjust my sights and move on? I know thats not tuning.

    Don't worry about your field points right now... what you want to do is get both hitting the same spot. Then move your sight so that both are hitting the bullseye. It could be that everything will be 6" high by the time you get both fp's and bh's grouping together.

    You want to LOWER your nocking point or RAISE your rest. I'd start with raising the rest.

    Yes once you get tuned, then readjust your sight.

    Ok so I used that graph that FBN gave me. I got the broadheads with an inch of the field tips by lowering my nocking point. But now i have almost maxed out my sights trying to get this thing on target, it has gotten better but I pretty much cant move my sight pins any further up and its still shooting high by 3-6". Also is it ok that I can easily see my arrow slanted up from the nocking point to the arrow rest? Thanks for the help guys.
