Ok, your bow is not tuned! Yeah, it can shoot thru paper just fine, any ft can do that, but the bh has to do it. I think you have a too heavy head for the arrow you are shooting. It is on the weak side to start, and adding weight weakens it. You might get by with a 100 gr head, but the charts say a .340 spine even with the 100gr. A ft arrow will not show up as being weak like a bh does. You have to get the right spine. If you can cut an 1" off the shaft you might be good and use the 100gr tip/bh. I have not found a bow that when I am done bh tuning the ft and bh hits the same spot. Very simple is to follow the ft. If the ft hits to the right of the bh, than move the rest toward the riser, (right hand shooter), if the bh hits below the ft, move the rest up.
