Default Broadhead Trouble

I was out shooting my broadheads for the first time today and noticed that my broadheads were flying weird. I am shooting 4-5" groups with them, which is not good enough for me, but my arrows are hitting the same place.

Arrow 1 hits 1" high at 20 yards.
Arrow 2 hits 1" low at 20 yards.
Arrow 3 hits 1" low, 1/2" right at 20 yards.
Arrow 4 hits 1" low, 1/2" left at 20 yards.
Arrow 5 hits dead on.
Arrow 6 hits 1" left and 1/2" low.

I am shooting a BowTech Allegiance with a 27.5" draw and 65 lb draw weight. I am shooting 26 7/8"Easton A/C/C 3-60 arrows tipped with 100 grain 3blade Muzzy's. My heads have no wobble in them. I have rotated the nocks, but it only moves the arrow left and right. I am using a hard helical on my arrows. I also use a mechanical release.Any help would be appreciated.

Shoot a bareshaft and then come back with your results.

what i do is turn my broadheads to line up with the fletchings so i know all my broadheads are the same and they shoot just fine. But if that doesnt work id shoot a bare shaft as well.

Sounds like quite a good idea to me.

I tried bare shaft tuning, but I could not get my bare shafts to hit with my field tip arrows. They hit about 7" left and 3" low at 64 lbs and 70 lbs.

If there is absolutely no wind, then try moving your rest right and up tiny amounts and see if that brings them together. If your center shot is correct, you are over spined.
