Something is wrong Art and i doubt that the arrows are that bad. Did you put the nocks in your cut ends of the shafts? Did you straighten the ends, square to the shafts? I'm shooting easy 2 inch groups at 30 yards with my bemans. I have some acc arrows for targets and they group at about 1 1/2 inches. I have never had brodheads that would not group with field points. I have had a shaft here or there that wouldn't group but thats it. (Most were that the shafts were not cut square) If i can shot bare shafts to 60 with the field points i can do that with broadheads also. I would never shot an animal at 60 but i can shot my broadheads. I will agree that aluminums are striaghter but i don't think that carbons are that bad.
