Broadhead vs Field Tip Accuracy Tips For Mechanical and Fixed Blade Broadheads

In this video we are discussing how to get "Field Tip Accuracy" out of your broadheads. A lot of times, switching to a broadhead after practicing all summer with your field tips will prove to be frustrating. The field tips fly great, but as soon as you put a broadhead on the end of the arrow everything changes. We're here to help.
When switching to broadheads, whether it be fixed or mechanical style heads, its important to make sure your bow is properly tuned. We recommend paper tuning and bare shaft tuning your arrows prior to putting a broadhead on the end of your arrow.
When you are shooting field tips, there is no resistance coming from the front of the arrow and the vanes correct any errors. However, when you throw a "rutter" on the end of your arrow the head starts to counter correct the vanes causing flight differences.
With a properly tuned bow and arrow, you should get great flight out of any of the Afflictor broadheads.

I want to start out and say love the videos and the information you put out to everyone! I think there needs to more company’s make videos like this. What I would love to see is a out of the box bow video. No tuning shooting factory spec arrows that haven’t been tuned and the broad head groups, then tune the bow and the arrows and shoot another group just to show people the importance and the difference it makes!

I have my bow tuned to the T. I can easily hold a 3-inch group at 60 yards with the Fixed k2. Fantastic head!

Great video. I started in archery when I was11 years old, I’m now 51 and new to crossbows. Would you use the same principal to tune a crossbow as the compound?

Great Information!

Another thing with fixed blades is your form.....if your having trouble getting a bareshaft to tune your form could be too blame....Also when bareshaft tuning do it on a day when there is no wind if you dont have an indoor setup. If your bareshafts are punching bullet holes consistently you should be able to shoot almost any broadhead.

It looks like your arrow is slanted downward when you draw back. Is this just a camera angle or on purpose?

[@afflictorbroadheads6259]

Camera angle. It is always difficult to get that camera to show things the right way.

If you use bmps instead of bullet field points you don’t have that issue
