Hey guys, new here and have a question about if it’s possible to keep my point of impact to sights the same with different heads. I recently got back into archery, picked up a hoyt compound, set to just a hair over 60lbs with a 29” draw, I’m shooting 250 maxima reds with heat vanes set to 3 degrees. So far I’m mostly shooting target, probably shoot once every other day or so, but with the season coming up I’d like to branch out and use the bow for hunting this season. The question is how far off from my field tip zero would say a judo for small stuff or a grim reaper razor cut SS for deer be, presuming all heads are 100gr? Range would be say out to 40yrds |
| My experience is limited, but I think there are too many variables to predict the answer you seek. I would buy an extra set of each of the heads you are interested in and shoot them at a broadhead target. Then you will know. |
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 (ESV)

You could consider broadhead tuning. In a nutshell, you adjust your bow to shoot field points and broadheads to the same point of impact. Gotta make sure you have the properly spines arrows or it can be more work than necessary.
Theres a ton of videos out there that do a great job explaining how it works and how to do it. I'd spend a couple minutes looking at YouTube and see if it's something you'd like to try. Your judo points will likely be very close to your field tips. |
|
first step is tuning your bow and arrow combination, assuming spine is correct for your draw weight and length combination. then I'd do Walk-back tuning with both broad heads and field points. you may have to go through several different broad heads before you find one that works for your set up and shooting style. I found that G5 strikers work for me, so that's what I shoot. |
If you can't take the high road, occupy the high ground.
