Default 7" drop from 10 to 20 yards????

I'm puzzled!!!

I just switched from Easton XX75 arrows to Whitetail Hunter (Carbon Express hunter) arrows. I'm shooting 70# @ 29". At 10 yards when I was just sighting in the new arrows, I had to move my sight up a lot to compensate for the faster flight of the Carbon Express. But when I moved back to 20 yards, I find that the arrow drops 6 - 8"!!! [:@]

Now I know this may be normal, but I used to be able to use the same pin from 10 - 25 yards and be only about an inch different with the Eastons.

Any ideas of what is up? I've tried tuning, but nothing really makes much of a difference and the arrows shoot clean holes through paper.

Here are some more specs for those interested:
29.5 Inch Arrows (Carbon Express Hunters labeled as Whitetail Hunter for Gander Mtn.)
The arrows appear to have slightly offset fletching.
125 gr. Field Points (To practice before switching to my Muzzy 3 blade 125 gr broadheads)

What gives? Do I just give in and re-adjust my sight?
