Broadhead advice!!

[BGbowhunters]

Ok so I need help! I've been hunting with my bow for two years now and I have Broadhead problems. I shoot shuttle t and I'll be shooting broadheads spot on one day and the next I'll shoot 6 inches off at like 60 yards. And i know it's not Torquing because I shoot consistently at 100 yards, and my bows not off sight because my fieldpoints shoot spot on all the time, and I would use mechanical but it's illegal in Oregon

If they're spot on one day I think you can rule out the equipment. Which direction are they off the other times?

I depends like yesterday I hit 6 inches to the left and today they were spot on

Set a video camera and look closely at form.......check every nut bolt screw on the bow.....sounds like a form thing.....hard to say cause your getting some consistency at other ranges correct?

 

[velvetfvr]

Gotta be you and not the equipment. First thing is even if you have bad form, consistently repeat every single thing in your form. Consistency will give you great accuracy

 

[BruinPoint]

Something changed - if the equipment was right last time the next most likely thing is you. Could be your grip, anchor point, canting the bow, peeking, among other things.

Check your arrow rest. Mine was loose just a little, I couldn't even notice. One day shot fine, next 4 inches right, then on again. Took it to the bow shop and they discovered it. Now I tighten all my screws every other time I shoot. Hopefully you have a similar issue because it is an easy fix. Also are you shooting outside where wind might be effecting your shot?

Are you wearing the same clothing every day? Any extra layers one day or is the shirt tighter, especially in the arms, or have longer sleeves that interfere with where your release is on your hand?

How tired you are when you shoot can make a big difference. Just throwing things out there.

You should definitely shoot your field points thru paper and make sure you have proper arrow flight coming out of the bow. Make adjustments to your rest/nock if needed (paper tuning, go to a shop and they can help). Make sure you are using the proper arrow spine and not shooting too light of arrows. If all that is good to go, then head back to the range. If one day the broadheads are hitting where you want, and the next day they aren't, then you should probably just take them off and try something different. Generally for me, if a broadhead isn't flying where I like, it usually misses in the same area of the target, not all over like your case. It's possible that the Shuttle T's just don't work with your set-up consistently. It's happened to me as well. But like most guys are telling you, make sure your form and execution are correct before you start changing equipment. Good luck! Fixed blades are fun!

just curious what is your brace height?

 

[mallardsx2]

Shooting a drop away rest?

 

[bowrunner]

Do you shoot with a wrist strap?? those need to be relatively loose or they can cause canting after the shot!

 

[grant_stricklin]

Sounds like wind or leaning bow

Based on the information given, I would suspect something subtle with your form or anchor point is changing from day to day. One other thought is your release. Some years back, I had a release that got debris inside the mechanical part and it was affecting my shot. I never realized what was happening until the dang thing actually locked up on me and I couldn't actuate the trigger mechanism. After purchasing a new release, I understood just how "rough" the trigger action had gotten and how it was negatively affecting my shot. The new release, with it's smooth action, got me shooting tight groups again. It was one of those hindsight is 20/20 moments.

Are you able to shoot them same arrows with field points consistently out to that extended range or do they move left inconsistently as well. If they move as well something is definitely wrong with equipment or form

 

[WELDO]

As mentioned arrow spine can be an issue. Fixed broadhead blades act as wings and there might be just enough of something not perfect and there goes accuracy! It may also be that you don't have enough weight front of center. 10％ is a good bench mark. Also fletching type and size is important because that's your steering/rudder for correct flight so a slightly longer or larger profile may make all the difference for you . Just some other things to consider! Good luck and lettuce know what you end up doing

EBJ 94 has a great article on mechanical vs. Fixed blade broadheads that is relevant to this conversation.

at 60yds, a lil breeze can mess up groups...

perhaps you're not noticing differences in breezes at times/days?
