So for a final followup. I went to the range again today at lunch and took my broadheads.
Still shooting poor groups. Then I went back to basics. I took half a dozen arrows and marked each one. I put my g5 practice head on them one at a time and shot them.
Two hit perfect to where the field points hit, four did not.
I put the two good ones aside.
I took the remaining four arrows and the practice broadhead head and one at a time twisted the knock 180 degrees. I found that one of them would not twist, and must be glued in place (I did that years ago)
Two that would turn instantly started shooting better. I put those two aside.
I took a different broadhead (4 blade magnus) and shot it with the two remaining arrows. One started shooting good and the final one would not shoot.
I put the "magnus" arrow aside.
The final arrow with the glued nock will not shoot any broadhead that I have. It is fine with a field point.
So with this simple exercise I have six arrows to put in my quiver. 4 with G5 Montecs, which will be my primary hunting arrow, 1 with a magnus stinger, for 20 yard or less finishing shots or varmints, and one field point for checking zero or shooting small game.
Each arrow is marked with I, M, or F for the head I will use with it.
I also might refletch the two that didnt fly well with the montecs. You never know, maybe the fletching was just off a touch. They look a little strange on those two arrows.
I am pretty well set assuming that I can put my "sharp" G5 hunting heads on the arrows that shot my practice heads well and not have any change in shots. I had two practice heads and shot them interchangeable and they shot the same from each arrow so I am guessing I am good.
In the end, after I got the bow pretty well tuned up, it was the arrows. I was taking three arrows at a time with me to the range. I may have had one or two of the arrows that were not cooperating in that group of three. Now my G5s and field points shoot interchangeable. With the exception of a five yard difference for each pin. With field points pins are set at 25 and 35. With broadheads it is 20 and 30.
What a relief!!!!
