So I had great sucess with the Magnus Classic 2 blade broadhead. Discontinued and can't get any more, imagine that.
So the closest I could find was the Zwickey Eskilite. Once tuned, flies like a dart but on the heavy side @ 135 grains.
I shoot 145 grain field points and can't for the life of me get them to shoot the same POI. Left and right is good but the field points shoot about 4" higher at 30 yards and about 8" higher at 60 yards.
Right now the broadheads are flying pretty damn good. The bow is tuned for the broadheads so the field points have a little whip to them but are still shooting higher. I'm shooting around 4"+/- groups at 60 yards with the broadheads so I'm confident the bow is tuned close to maximum efficiency for these heads. Am I missing something? I do shoot the cheap Buckbuster arrows (off Ebay $45/dozen) rated for 55-70 lb draw (my bow is maxed at 65 lbs). Possibly try a different arrow?? Not a huge ordeal just for practice, kind of a pain to have to hold in between pins or hold high/low.
Bow is a Mathews Heli-M with Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit rest.
