Recently purchased a bulldog 400. Im shooting 150gr fields points now and have the bow all dialed in. Just wondering if when i switch over to bolt cutters in 150gr as well.....if there will be any change in accuracy? Any help would b appreciated

Put them on your arrows and shoot them in to your target. Always test your BH before you point your bow at a live target.

Trust but verify! Totally agree with Jeff. BTW, those Ramcats were dead on to 50 yards, Exodus heads were .5" high, thanks again Jeff!

That's wild. The exodus must have less wind resistance.. :)

I honestly thought it would be the other way around. :roll:

Think of it this way, you're testing each individual arrow/bolt as much as you are the broadhead. For example, on each arrow/bolt, you're looking for a bad insert that may not be obvious after installation but shows itself in flight because it slightly misaligns the broadhead. So all other shafts might group well but there is one with a bad insert that produces a flier with a broadhead. If you didn't shoot that particular shaft with a broadhead on it, you may never know.

my spitfire practice points weight 103 grs,my new crossbow spitfies weight 106 grs .they will shoot about 1 inch off of each other at 30 yards.of course regular practice points shoot way off from others usually much higher ..

not problem if you shoot your buck at 30 yards ..
