    Can someone help me here? Was sighting bow in one final time with broadheads. how does one not ruin arrow fletching? if I'm grouping well the arrows touch and rip fletching. ALSO, I used an epoxy to glue the inserts in but apparently it wasn't good enough cuz now I have 2 broadheads inside the target from pulling the arrow out lol. what do u guys use for glue?

    I would aim at different spots on the target, I do that even with field tips at a closer range, draw small dots to aim at

    This is good advice. Most newer targets have individual spots already on them.

    Make sure that with your next arrows, allow the epoxy to settle on the inserts for about 24 hours.

    I shoot a broad head 3 times into the target & mark the spot with tape. Then shoot a field point 3 times mark that group & make adjustments & do the same thing again till I got it tuned.

    I don't like buying arrows. I almost never shoot at my arrows in the target. There are spots all over a target to shoot at so why shoot at your arrows? If you can hit five spots on the target, it's no different than shooting them all in the same hole.

    It's probably too expensive but what are you asking for it?

    I'll need a gift receipt as well.

    Good luck selling that. It's just not in demand these days.

    Don't shoot at the same points on the target might help.

    I've found that shooting at spots is even better. When shooting groups, I noticed the first arrow was shot at a spot, after that I changed my aim point to the nock of the first arrow. So if I was a little low left, my second arrow would appear worse because it was low left from where the first arrow landed.

    Yup. Can’t say I have that problem with fletching. I shoot at different spots on my target.

    I use gorilla glues supper glue on my inserts and have not problems
