Default Beman 400 carbon arrows

I was wondering if anyone had an opinion about beman arrows? I got a dozen this year for christmas to go with my new bow, but i'm not sure that i like them. I had shot them a lot this spring and they grouped pretty good, but i started noticing some inconsistency. At first i thought it was me, but i'm starting to think it might be the arrows.
I was broadhead tuning today (thanks to everyone for the great advice) and using one arrow (for fear of robin hoods) I finally got my bow shooting dead on. but when i threw my practice broad head on my other arrows they shot all over the place. Each arrow was consistent however... the arrow i was tuning with was consistently in the 10 ring, while another arrow would consistently hit at 2 o clock, but like five or six inches off center, and another was hitting at 3 o clock and also like five inches off center. I tried a couple different brands of broadheads and the arrows would all hit in their same respective spots.
The only thing i can imagine is that the shafts must be inconsistent. Correct me if i'm wrong but if it was a tuning issue, and the shafts were fine the arrows would be off target but they would at least be grouped together, right? I tried shooting the NAP Razorbaks i shot last year, and you can rotate the heads so the blades are aligned, so i don't think its a broadhead issue (not to mention all broadheads should fly consistently in a well tuned bow). So anyways i kinda wanted to vent and get some imput from you guys. i'm also thinking about buying new arrows now because i've lost all faith in these ones, so i was wondering if you guys had any recommendations and why? Thanks in advance and sorry for such a long post i'm just frustrated haha.
