I`ll have toexperiment withwalk back by the sounds of it,I know for me it won`t be until after hunting season though now that I`m happy with the way it`s shooting,also may try these slick tricks to keep the fps up at longer distances

Not a tuning expert by any means but sounds like that is your problem to me as well. I used to paper tune my bows and call it good. I ran into the same issues that you are having. My last bow shooting bullet holes at 5, 10 and 20 yards. Grouping FP's at 60 yards. Put a Slick Trick on, 8 inches left two inches low.
With some help from this site and some studying I switched tuning methods. Walk back tune and then broadhead tune. Since doing this I've not had problems getting ST's, Muzzy's and Thunderheads to all fly the same and impact with my FP's. It takes time and patience but IMO is far better than just a paper tune.
The bow in question above, I went back and shot through paper after I walk back tuned and BH tuned. Had a bad tear. I re paper tuned the bow to shoot a bullet hole. Put a ST on and 8 inches left and 2 inches low. I know there are die hard paper tuners out there but I haven't had great luck with the method. I see it as a starting point not an ending point.
I no longer even shoot through paper. I start with a walk back and go from there.I'll also say that regardless of what the manufacturer claims, No fixed blade head will shoot like a FP out of an improperly tuned bow.
