Whats up man, how ya been?

i've had my mathews splittin' arrows the past few months. but sure enough i had to mess around and try something new during the season. so i ordered some lumenocks and i really like them. but i'm having a problem with arrow flight now. i was getting great results before switching to them, so i paper tuned it @ 6 and 12 ft... (bareshaft) and got bullet holes... then with a regular arrows fletched w/ 2 " blazers and couldnt really tell what i got... ( i was paper tuning w/ broadheads....) the paper was ripped alot i dont know if i didnt have it tight enough... but anyway i went out and shot, and still noticed a little wobble.... im just not sure what im doing wrong... shouldnt be anything wrong with my form as i've been shooting great before the lumenocks... (i really wanna hunt with them too...!! ;D)

I really don't recommend tuning with broadheads on because just as you found the broadheads make it hard to determine whats going on. If the broadheads and field points are hitting together you have no worries and are probably just seeing the fletching rotate and eye switch as the arrow goes down range. If they are not hitting together and you have bullets with your other nocks, the added weight of the lumenocks has lowered the FOC to the point the arrow is unstable, meaning the slightest misplacement of form and the arrow will fishtail or porpose causing the broadheads to plane. Try paper tuning with field points and the lumenocks and see what they are doing. If they tune check the FOC if you still have poor broadhead performance. If the FOC is not over 10% forget the lumenocks or increase your broadhead weight.
