Tuning question

    I just put on a Trophy Taker drop-away rest (I had been shooting a Whisker Bskt) on my Hoyt UltraMag. Happy as a clam, I was shooting tight groups in no time. Then I started shooting broadheads…They give me equally tight groups, but they are always 3 inches to the left (at 20 yards).

    I’ve not paper-tuned the bow since installing the new rest and I know I need to do that. Just thought I’d post my situation to see if any of you might have some suggestions.

    Thoughts/suggestions/tips? Am I out-thinking this? One thought I had is to simply adjust my sights for the broadheads. As long as they hit consistantly at whatever yardage – who the heck cares that field tips hit differently. The elk/deer/bear won’t care.

    Cory is absolutely right…there are way too many variables that could cause the left arrows. Paper tuning is the “BEST” place to start! The bow will tell you what needs to be attended to.

    Thanks for the quick replies – yeah, I’ll be back in the Cities on Weds. and will papertune at Bawana’s (that’s where I bought the rest).

    I appreciate the offer to help at the shoot on the 7th, but I’ll be on kid duty that day as my wife will be on one of her scrapbooking retreats.

    As an aside, I gotta tell you fellas – Scrapbooking is the best thing that ever happened to my hunting/fishing. Now she has a “thing” that she is able to go and do (and spend $$ on). It has significantly reduced the guilt-factor in regards to my activities. Win/win.
