so i was out shooting and my fletching was wet so i decided to try my zwickey deltas, the arrow is planing downward and to the left, i tried a well balanced arrow and a dry fletching it hits about 4 inches left of where im looking, any way to correct this? shots were around 25 yards, im trying to get them to hit same as my field points, my bareshafts are flying like darts.

Make sure the points are on straight. Never had a problem getting Zwickey Deltas to shoot with my field points.

Try raising your brace height about 1/8" at a time. For me, if I start hitting left it almost always gets better if I twist up my string a bit. If you are shooting 3 fletch try shooting with cock feather in. These cost nothing to try. Good luck. You could also try canting your bow a bit more. But first make sure your bhs are on straight.

When adjusting for broadhead flight compared to field points.
Remember small adjustments will effect the broadhead arrow more than field point.
I would address one direction at a time. Start with height, adjust your nocking point down a little bit. Do this till the height is right.
Then the hitting a little left. I would want to adjust the thickness of the pad on the side of the arrow pass if possible. A little less thickness could do it. Also the brace height adjustment.

Personally I'd listen to what Bill Carlson and Mac had to say and if that didn't fix it I'd take a hard look at my fletching... though tuning is always suspect.

Just curious... how are your broadheads oriented on the arrow ( vertical or horizontal) ?

My first thought is that you said your fletching was wet. If your arrow tune is marginal, wet fletching may flatten out and no longer properly stabilize the arrow. I have had this happen to me. How do they fly when the feathers are dry? Well tuned arrows should shoot well whether wet or dry. You may need, as others have suggested, need to tune more, and I would look at arrow spine first.

My guess is it's the difference in length between your field tips and broadheads. Sounds weird, but hear me out. Shooting split or 3 under our mind will pick up the relationship of the point and the target at different ranges. Consciously or subconsciously it's going to happen. Your mind is trying to put the point of the broadhead in the same relationship to the target as it does the field tip. That's going to cause a difference in impact point that can fool you into thinking that something is wrong with your tune. Everyone says practice with your broadheads and I think this is why it's so important. Your brain has to get used to it. My first few broadhead shots are always low. As long as your arrows are flying good just shoot them some and I bet your issue goes away.
