Default broad head tuning question
Forgive me I am a newbie to bow's.

My bow is sited in pretty good with feild tips.

I tried the grim reaper mechanical broad heads and they are shooting 7 inches high at 40 yards compared to the feild tips.

Is this a sign there is something wrong or do I just need to adjust for them?

They look like they fly nice, and they penetrate really well.

The broad heads are 100 gr, just like my feild tips and the arrow is the same as I've always used.

In a quick example of what your arrow is doing ...its coming out of bow nock high porhposing to a low kick and planeing upward...

thanks for the responses everyone.

If the arrow is doing this neil, can I just adjust my sites? Or does my d-loop or rest have to be adjusted?
