Whn practicing, do y'all shoot a broadhead (BH) at all? I shot a BH for the first time yesterday and it was shooting 2 inches lower that my field points. I have never had my BHs be that far off before? Maybe it was just my shooting though. I did readjust the sight and shot the BH again, and it was dead on.

Everyone should spend one afternoon and broadhead tune their bow. It is very easy to do. If a BH and FP do not shoot the same, your bow is out of tune

It is usually a very simple matter of moving your rest up/down or left/right minuscule amounts to get it correct

Can't agree with you there IL2H. Different broad heads can cause the arrow to plane, especially for larger fixed blade broad heads. The wind resistance of broad heads over field points is significant, although the flight characteristics of broad heads and field points vary less when full length (4") vanes. The other thing to consider is that faster bow speeds generate more arrow planing than slower bows when shooting broad heads, which is the reason some of the newer fixed broad heads have a smaller cross-section than their predecessors.
