    I noticed today after switching broadheads that my field tips shoot high left and my broadheads are shooting low right. they are about 8" apart. Any suggestions? PSE Bow Madness 29' 70LB. Gold Tip xpedition hunters 7595 at 29" and 100 gr. Muzzy, 3 blade and 4 blade. and Crimson Talon 100gr. They all shoot low right. I was experimenting with different broadheads so that is why there were so many different heads listed. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Try and fix the low part first. Raise your rest a tiny bit and reshoot. Keep doing that in increments as big as you are comfortable with until the FP's and BH's hit on the same plane. Then you can adjust for the right/left issue.

    Thanks a bunch. I was trying to figure out which direction to tackle first. I also noticed my arrows are cut right in the middle of my riser. There is still clearance for fixed blade broadheads but it is close. Should I be looking at making my arrows longer? Or do they sound like they are a decent set up? I have always shot expandables before and the arrows were cut for them

    As long as they clear the riser (which they should on any bow that is in tune and has been made in the past 20 years), then they don't have to stick out in front of the riser, longer is always better than too short though. ;)
