Bow tuning with broadheads: points that cut do not fly the same as points that puncture
Article Abstract:
There is a difference between the flight of field point arrows and broadhead arrows, primarily because the blades of the broadhead can act as wings and change the course of the arrow. It is necessary to retune the bow between shooting field points and broadheads. Tuning and arrow selection are discussed.

Article Abstract:
