Broadheads hitting left only at longer distances?

[Bhoesl]

Just switched over to my broadheads and getting my bow sighted in for them. Everything is dead on at 20 yards but when I back up to 30 or 40, they’re hitting to the left. My sight doesn’t allow left-right adjustment of individual pins, only the whole bracket. What else can I do to correct this?
Thanks

Is your bow tuned? Do your field points hit the same POI? If not you’re either torquing the bow or it isn’t tuned.

Bump your rest one way or the other until you broadheads and field points hit together at all yardages.

Just did this recently after a fresh tune. Broadheads and field points only 1/2” apart. But this was also with G5 broadheads. Tooth of the Arrow broadheads did not shoot well.

It seems to only be with the broadheads. Field points were hitting good at all distances. Broadheads hit same as field points at 20, but then about 4-6” left at 30 and 40.
Very well could just be my form…

then you’re close to being tuned, but not on the gnats azz yet.

Micro-adjust screw is your friend.

This chart should help. A little adjustment goes along ways with BH tuning. Make an adjustment see where they hit then rezero sight after getting them to impact the same point

You’re looking for this result. This was one bh and one fp @ 90yds tonight.

That’s what you want.

Wow, that’s some impressive shooting! Thanks for the advice everyone, sounds like I’ll try some slight adjustments of the rest tomorrow.

You got one for left and right?

Mark your rest with a pencil before you start adjusting. That way you can always return it back to where ya started at.

Tooth of the Arrow broadheads did not shoot well.

This was my experience. No matter I did I couldn't get these heads to shoot straight or even consistent for that matter. Shot 3 other brands of broadheads and those 3 flew great. I don't know what it is with them.

Along with this, I always take a picture of my markings on my rest and site before hunting season so I have a reference for the field.

It’s almost like shooting a rock screwed onto the bow. They grouped well when you shoot but they just don’t flipping group with field points whatsoever.

That picture is giving me an inferiority complex.

Try walk back tuning

If your broadheads are spinning true, then...

It’s not your sight- it’s your rest. The arrows aren’t coming out perfectly straight, and the broadhead catches more air than a fieldpoint, so it flies farther from center before the fletchings can correct the flight- some people call it “broadheads planing”, but it’s the rest being out of tune for how you shoot your bow. So shoot a broadhead, then a field point (so your broadhead doesn’t cut fletching on your other arrow). Move the rest from broadhead impact towards field point impact. Be warned that you will not be hitting where you were sighted in before. Rinse and repeat until you have everything dialed in.

Listen to these guys. I don’t even have to give my .02 cents cuz they are spot on. It’s the rest.

MOVE IT MICRO ASS ADJUSTMENTS DUDE

Also could be that your inserts aren’t square with your arrow. Having a broadhead not square to your arrow can cause planing like you have that won’t show up with field points.

Another thing to consider is having the proper spine stiffness. Too weak or too stiff of an arrow can cause this issue that you’re having as well.
