swhacker help...asap...please

[buckinnuts]

Just got some swhackers 125 gr sited with 125 field points...dead on....put swhackers on...it was off got it sited in at 20 yrds...then went ton30yrds i was off by about 5-6".
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?...DO I need heavier inserts?..i have the aluminum ones in there now...any help would be appreciated...thanks..mike

when you say off do you mean high or low..if so ..then if you get em dead on at 20 and they are high or low at 30 i would think you can adjust your speed ring (if your scope has one..)
otherwise more info is needed to help and im sure there are some guys here that can help you out..

They are shooting low....my scope does not have speed ring

[Hi5]

You sight in for 20 yards, and then find that at 30 yards it shoots low?

Are you shooting measured distances, or guesstimates?

What size of groups are you getting with the broadheads?

Did you really expect that there would be no drop with your grouping when you shot 10 yards further back?

[Normous]

Your dropping 5" - 6" from 20-30 yards...Normal.

[buckinnuts]

Ok...the yardages are with a range finder...next when i shot with the bolt cutters the chevrons in the scope where dead on...so when they were sited. In.they. were on at all yardages according to the chevrons on scope....now they will not match the chevrons in scope

[buckinnuts]

Plus i am shooting off a steady rest....not making sense

[Hi5]

Boltcutters are 150 grain, aren't they? Switching to a lighter broadhead will likely change the point of impact (as it did for you). It will change the trajectory too, and that's a certainty. Your arrow speed has changed and you need to get a scope with a speed ring if you want the chevrons to match better with the point of impact with varying arrow weights.

You might get more concrete help if you tell everyone what equipment you have. Bow, scope, string, arrow speed, brace height, arrow shaft etc

When I went from field tips to the Swhackers I didn't have to do anything. Are you putting to much tape on them to keep them closed and weighing the arrow down much more that your field tips are you?

[buckinnuts]

The bow is a axiom 305fps.....field tips are 125....which i did have to resite for the boltcutters....going to try to align the insert better..might be catching air and planing....firebolt arrow....excalibur scope...not sure which one it is just says excalibur on it...no speed ring...if swhackers dont work picked up some ramcats..the guy at my local shop gaurentees them...so if they dont work back to the boltcutters...lol...got to wait till morning. To dark out...so much for hunting in the a.m.

hope that works for ya man i know it can be frustrating somtimes...i say get ya some slick tricks and go huntin

I thought that the arrows and points that came with
the Axiom kit were matched for that scope

So if you are changing the bh weight it will effect
the chevron settings past 20 yds.

I think.....

Well that sucks if thats the case...the that would mean different scope to compensate for arrow speed

[robertyb]

The Axiom scope is preset for 150 grain points. Shooting a 125 Swacker will add a tad of speed so you should hit a little higher at longer ranges. I would not think that out to 40 yards it would change POI enough to worry about.
