100 meter broadhead issues..

Postby elkaholic » 07 26, 2015 •  [Post 1]

Let me start by saying I WILL NOT take a shot at an uninjured animal at that range. Shooting at these distances builds my confidence for normal effective range shots. I was experimenting today and my broadheads are shooting right with my field points at 70m but when I step back to 100 meters they hit about 2 ft low.. Anyone have any ideas? My field points shoot perfectly with the marks on the tape out to 110m..
Get out earlier, go farther, stay longer..KEEP HAMMERING

Move your rest up 1/16" of an inch (1.587 mm). Maybe even less. Match mark your rest so you can always start over.

That is normal. A broadhead catches more air than a FP. After 80 yards or so, most all BH's will impact lower.

Ya, that was kinda my thoughts... I also had a bit of a headwind as well. I'm shooting ST Standards so there is a bit more surface area than others.. But they are flying perfectly with my field points about to 70m so that isn't bad :twisted:

I'll admit, my setup doesn't allow me to shoot 100 yds but If they're hitting together at 70, 2 feet of drop in 30 yds sounds like a lot if we're just talking drag...
