Default Tuning advice, please!

I'm having a hard time getting broadheads to hit where my field points do. I shoot a 2004 Bowtech Patriot VFT, Gold Tip XT 5575, 125gr Montecs. I put a new Winner's Choice on my Bowtech this Summer. I got it close to bullet hole on paper, then just shot a bunchto break in the string and get peep set. Went back to paper andgot it slight tear high, but decided it was close enough to tune broadheads to field points. Well, BH were nearly a foot lower than FP@ 40 yds, so I moved the rest up. It tightened the groups some(now 8" apart @ 40yds), but they are still lower than FPs, and the rest ishigher than the nock causing the arrow to point slightly up. BH arrow flight is good with 4" groups@ 40yds and I'm hitting where I'm aiming, but not with FPs. I'm OK with leaving it and being satisfied for this season, but should I be concerned over the upward angle of the arrow on the rest? If I try to match FPs, it's only going to get worse. Should I move it back to the original setting and do bareshaft? This is something I'll likelywork onin October after elk season, but if anyone has a fairly easy suggestion, please let me know and I'll give it a go this week.
