99% of the time its not your broad heads its your bow. Take it to your local shop and have them put everything in tune.

Ok, couple things here.

You should start shooting your broadheads about a month before season begins. If your bow is not tuned then you will have these problems. In your particular case, you need to either lower your nocking point or raise your rest slightly to get your BH's to group with your FP's. Either way, its thesame thing.

If you are uncomfortable doing this, then just resight your bow to your BH's for now. You really should tune your bow to reach optimal performance. What BH's are you shooting?

Tuning issue, not a broadhead issue. Fix the problem then pick a broadhead, not vise versa. Don't go to a mechanical for a bandaid. Fix the issue first.

Not unless your bow is tuned.
Arrows (if alum) need to be straight.
Broadheads need to be mounted so they spin perfect.
Center shot needs to be set.
Bow may need timing.
Nock point should be at or near level.
If you can't do this yourself, find a shop or do not shoot at animals!

I would suggest you look at my website. first read the tuning page as well as the faq page. After that you can check out the broadhead tests and figure out what you need. More often than not some simple tuning and or fletching changes can fix poor broadhead flight.

this might be one that you will have to drive to a shop a long ways from your home but you will be happy when its shooting great.
