Broadhead SIGHTS?????

O.K bear with me on this. I know that sights is considered a four letter word by most here, but I have discovered something that may help people, me included , to be more acurate with their broadheads and it is still as traditional as heck.
Let me start by saying that I shoot 3 under, not sure if this would work shooting split?
I was practicing with my WW heads a couple of nights ago when I noticed that one was turned so the top blade was perpendicular to the ground at full draw, perfectly with my cant. I then noticed that the tip of that arrow was in my focus point. That means that the tip of the blade could be used as a sight. I tried it again tonight and hit the CENTER of the bulls 10 out of 10 shot at 20 yards. The tip of the blade made the point of impact 4" low at 25 yards and 4" high at 15.
I painted the back of that blade with a white marker and viola....I have a broadhead sight!
If this simple technique can keep one person from loosing a deer this year, I will be very happy!

Yep.  Now just remember to cant the same on every shot.

Nice. I've been playing around with point of aim (poa) and have found it works great from 10 yards out to 25. It's the same concept, just holding (for me) 15" below where I want the arrow to impact. (That's 15" AT the target... not gap).

I string walk using POA. This is a good method for someone like me who shot sighted compounds for most of the past 34 years.

Folks who used sights for a long time and then try to go 'instinctive' often do fine when practicing. However, too often when the excitement of a shot at game occurs this same archer will subconsciously see the point of the arrow (broadhead) on the spot they want to hit. Of course anything under 30 yards will be high when this happens.

I picked this up from the most knowledgable archer/coach I've ever met.
