There could be a multitude of problems. Improperly tuned bow, incorrect arrow selection, and though it shouldn't make that big of a difference at 20yds, broadhead's are far heavier than the field tips you may be using. My guess would be bow tuning though. There are several great threads on how to tune your bow correctly, otherwise eastonarchery.com also has a very good bow tuning guide. Good Luck!

Numerous possibilities. The first things that came to my mind is if you are shooting the same weight practice points as broadheads as well as broadheads fly differently. The other was said by burbaust99 is tuning your bow.

I practice with the practice broadheads that come with my Muzzy 3 blade 100s, just to make sure that I shoot on the hunt what I practice with. Broadhead targets cost a little more and wear out quicker, but I think it's worth it.

If your bh's and fieldtips are the same weight, it is most probably a bow tuning issue/ correct arrow issue. Take it to your local shop and have them help you out there getting that thing tuned correctly.
