Very good chance you have the wrong spine arrows.
A perfectly tuned bow will not shoot the wrong spine with broad heads the same as field points.

I doubt Sir you bow was tuned rightin the first place
If you are shootign over 60# you need to be Shootign Gold Tip 75/95s
Strip an arrow down to bare shaft no vanes Start at 6 feet not 6 yards & work back
Bale must be soft non directional no cardbaord or layers sideway Pure ethafoam works best
Forget paper tuning, its a fast way to get guys out of a Pro shop.
After you are tuned and your barearrow is going in dead straight at 6 feet go to 12 feet then 18 feet etc
Then when you bow is tuned right, then & only play with broadheads. For accuracy try to Slick Tricks 4 blade all steel heads

RE: How do you tune a @#$% broadhead?
I've shot both the 5575 and the7595 with 100 thunderheads out of my 70# hoyt. The 5575 hits 2-3" right of the other. Haven't put an 85grn. head on yet, but believe it will bring it closer to the other (there's no difference with FP's). Your not tuned or your not a good enough shooter to determine it. I think your just not tuned yet and a 125 is too heavy unless your using a 5" vane. With that heavy head your causing the 5575 shaft to flex a great dealto get that head going, a 7595 would work better with a 125 head, it's stiffer. Adding weight to the rear end will offset the effect.I shoot the 7595, but my bow is 70#. If a 5575 won't do a 60# bow GT's got some problems.
Shouldn't be that far off of FP's, (2" max at 40 yrds.)but IMO I see no reason they have to shoot the same as a FP as long as they hit what I'm aiming at.
FWIW Once you get it shooting well and your sure of it, don't stop there.Trying changing things one at a time and you'll know for future ref. the effect things have.
