Question for Gap Shooters
«

Looking for any advice on the transition from field tips to broadheads...what seems to be working best for me is turning my broadheads so the bleeder blade on my stingers is in the middle of my sight picture and treating it as my "point." Wondering what other guys are doing to get a similar sight picture/point and keep similar gaps when going between field points and broadheads.

I like my two blade angle out of my view and my three blades looking like a Y. I don't gap shoot on hunting distance shots.

2 Blade aligned horizontal to my view down the arrow. For me,I find the "point-on" between my points and broadheads are one in the same out to 20 yards. I found that I can't see the point end of the broadhead,and use the central main body of the head as my "point referrence" rat'

I have a friend who orients his broadheads so, for a righty, the main blade is about 45 degrees from bottom left to top right. He then puts an easily-seen dot of white out on the blade where the tip of a field point would fall.

2 blade horizontal alignment here as well. Give me a nice baseline reference point.

I've done both ways. Deltas straight up and down when hunting a tree stand and gap off the top of the blade. Horizontal while stalking or roaming using the end of the arrow to gap off of. Both works great.

Often,the end of the broadhead ferrule is close to where the tip of the field point would be.

I'm the opposite for my split vision aiming. All my 2 blade heads are mounted horizontal and my Snuffers are mounted in a "Y" so I'm looking at my target with nothing to interfere.

I only gap at longer distances past 25yds and use it for 30-40yds and beyond shots, but I use the back of the point as my aiming point and not the tip so it does not matter what point I have on my arrows.

I use the arrow insert as my reference. Most everything I shoot now days has at least a 50 grain brass insert and most a 100 grain. Very easy to key off of the insert rather than the tip of what ever point you are using. I don't consciously gap but knowing the reference is there it is in my secondary vision - can't remember if that's what Howard Hill called it or not but that is the way I have taught myself to shoot.
