    Thanks for the reminder...just sent them to you. Included a few extras if you want to put them up on the team thread.

    Baby and mom are awesome. Wife actually went on a 2 mile walk yesterday so she is feeling great. Thanks for asking!

    Its almost here. I wish I could say the same about the equipment though, I have been shooting good all summer up until the last week or week and a half, my broadheads started hitting well right of my field points, I tried tweaking the rest and got them hitting back together but now my arrows are showing tail whip. If I can't figure the problem out I am just gonna have to postpone my opening day till I can get to a bow shop and have somebody look both me and my bow over, not worth wounding a deer over

    put your rest back where it was you moved the center flight by moving it over.
    once you are spot on with fielp points again shoot your broadheads if they are hitting right move your sight to the right.

    I was under the impression that you tune your rest to shoot both to the same POI. Its really weird because until I started tinkering nothing had changed that I am aware of with my bow. But all summer when I have shot BH they have grouped with FP, then last week they started moving right and were consistantly hitting several inches right of the POA, wheras my FP where still hitting POA. Not sure what happened.

    To broadhead tune your bow you adjust your rest. If you are hit to the left of your field points move your rest to the right and repeat shooting and tweeking your rest till you walk your broardheads into your field points. Then go back and adjust your sight to hit your POA. You can find alot of youtube videos on broadhead tuning if you need extra help.

    Yep same everything. Shooting slick trick standards 100 gr. Gold tip 55/75 cut to 28" out of a 63# bowtech assassin.

    As far as I know nothing had moved on my bow, and I had shot a broadhead for a bit every week or 2 since July. I moved everything back to its original spot and am just gonna take a day or 2 away from my bow. Its just about gotta be something mental or in my form.


    Thanks Killroy, that was what I was trying to do, but as I said it made my arrows tail whip.

    Have fun on your trip man
