Do your broad heads hit the same spot as your field points?
Mine do out to 20 yards. After that they start to drop. At 30 the distance is about 3 inches. At 40 it's about 6 inches.

Absolutely! I don't quit until they do out to 40 yards. This is with Muzzys. Back when I shot glue on Snuffers, I never could get them perfect.
yes they do i use 100 grain spitfires and they hit right where the feild points hit.

The law of pyhsics dictates that they can not impact in the exactly the same spot.
When you change for a feild tip to a broadhead the arrow is the same, the energy delivered to the arrow is the same but the coeficient of friction is much different between the two. The broadheads should all group the same but should not group at the same location as your field tips.
This becomes more and more obvious at longer yardages.
It is the same with a rifle shooting a bullet of the exact same wieght at the same muzzle velocity but with different profiles and ballistic coeficients. The close range impact point will be very similar but could be inches different at 200 yds.
The closer the BC of your broadhead to your fieldpoints the closer the impact point remains.
At most effective bowhunting yardgaes, 30 yds and under, the difference is normally very minimal with todays modern broadhead designs. The expandable broadhead was invented to address this very issue.

I've still got some fine tuning to do, but I'm happy for now. It's getting late in the game to be making so many drastic changes. Anymore and I'll be setting myself up for failure.

Yes, out to 50 yards. Took some fine tuning and extra time but worth the effort.

1.) Montec G5 flying just like field points out to 30 yards.
2.) Spitfire 125 flying as good as field points out to 45 yards
