    Not necessarily. Broadheads will show little deficiencies in tuning or spine issues.

    Are your arrows matched to your bow? Did you spin test your arrows to make sure your inserts are square to the shaft?

    Do you have adequate fletch?

    Is your bow tuned to you and it's up most performance?

    There are many reasons why a broad head may not necessarily fly to your field points, all of which above are some but not all.

    How about posting your setup including arrows, weight, draw weight and bow scale etc so we can better evaluate that.

    Fred Bear Tracker Bow
    -29" draw
    -65# weight
    -Tru Glow 3 pin sight
    -Wisker Brisket (sorry if i screwed that up)

    Arrows
    -Easton XX75 w/4" vanes 400's
    -G5 100 grain striker Broadheads

    Yesterday i was at the indoor range and sighted my bow in. I could group into 3" @ 20 yards all day. I even rechecked when i got home, on my own little range i made up. I took then switched to the 3 broadheads i would carry, and i was off the 6" left and low. I went and grabbed my field tips, and i was back on target.

    Let me know if you need more info.

    I know how this is going to sound but, you are shooting the same weight field tips as broad heads.
