Just about any bow can be tuned to a broadhead. I must say I was very against the expandables however the rage broadheads are definetly peaking my interest.

I would not shoot expandables at that poundage. Tune your set up and your arrows will fly with BH's,, if you have questions about tuning there are a lot of guys here with a wealth of knowledge about tuning your set up....Welcome to the site!!!

Edit: I am not against the expandables, I have been shooting them for 12 years with awesome success, I am just saying I wouldn't with that weight!!

Your arrows are probably too stiff!!! For your poundage!!!

u need to get ur bow tuned and get the right size arrow and with that done, i gaurantee u that most fixed blades will fly accuratley

If I was you I'd get off the internet and go to some archery shop where they can set you up with the right equipment or fix whatever it is thats wrong. 7 inches off is crazy. You've got some issues some where in your set up.

I second that.....even if your bow was in perfect tune.

Expandables aren't for every setup. You're likely (highly)not pushing enough KE to utilize them.

The guys are right. Your rig needs to be tuned and/or an issue with your shooting form. If your shooting is that off, there's no way those arrows are flying straight and you're wasting valuable energy on an arrow thats hitting the target sideways. Use a mechanical as a bandaid and you have a recipe for disaster.
Perhaps if you post some specs on what you're shooting, we would be better able to help you out.
