    This year I got new .340 fmjs. I'm shooting slick trick magnum 100 grains. At 20 yards I notice a slight pull to the left and at 30 yards it's not even close to where I'm aiming, it's way to the left. Even thought there off my aiming point they still group together. I then put the broadhead back on my old arrow, easton da torch .330 just to try it and it was fine. So my questions are is the bow out of tune? Is it the weight difference in the arrow? I have no idea.

    Thanks in advance!

    Make sure they spin good on the fmjs.....French tune the bow....try again....i had the same problem with my slick tricks until I french tuned....i was high and left....after tune they are about a half inch off my field points

    Your bow is tuned for your old arrows. Your new arrows are a different diameter so the sit different on the rest. They also are a different spine. Try moving your rest a hair to the right.

    Could be as simple as the FMJ's are just a touch weak on spine.

    To say a bow that doesn't shoot fixed blades is out of tune is kind of a broad statement.Its simply not broadhead tuned which isn't that big of a deal to fix.Try moving your rest right in very small amounts,if that doesn't work your spine could be too stiff....I'm not sure though.I don't have any experience with Easton arrows,but the .340 FMJ is weaker then a .330,but a FMJ is probably heavier GPI.It could be the arrow...not something you like to hear after buying new arrows,I know,for future reference is your broadhead tuning and in the market for new arrows.Go to Lancaster and buy them single to see how they go.

    Thanks for the advice so far. I didn't have time to shoot tonight. But here's another question I also have NAP kill zones i haven't shot yet, will those be off too.
