Do broadheads shoot the same as field points?
Different bows can shoot the same broadhead tipped arrow and get different results. We have found that the reason why a broadhead tipped arrow will not hit the same place as a field point tipped arrow is because the arrow is not being delivered straight by the bow.
Does Field Point Size Matter?
Buying smaller than the arrow shaft: For the same reason if the point is skinnier then the shaft, it may cause friction with the target when the arrow hit the surface. The outside diameter won’t enter as smoothly as it should causing damage to the shaft and the target.

Why do my arrows fly different with broadheads?
Slight arrow-rest misalignments can cause broadheads and field tips to fly differently. If the field tips group higher than the broadhead, your arrow rest is too low, which causes broadheads to plane lower than field tips. Slightly raise the rest, and shoot another group.
Why do my arrows fly left?
One of the most common reasons for shots being consistently off target is that you’re shooting arrows with a weak spine. Arrows that are too weak for your bow will cause them to bend too much in flight, making them hit off target.
