Lowering poundage or decreasing tip weight is the only thing you can do,short of cutting the arrows even shorter.
Try the broadheads you have before you go any further.That will tell you all you need to know.You are probably close enough to get them to fly but imo,I doubt they will group with FP's.

Ya maybe I will. I know he knows more about a bow than you do thats for sure. I'm really glad you can take a simple question and turn it into a smart azz argument. You always were a prick

Give you an idea of what you could expect.I have a .440 spine and that tunes perfect with bareshafts and broadheads.I shoot ACC's and today just for giggles shot my FMJ 500's out of MY BOW.The diameter and fletch is really close so subsequently the up and down impact out to 30 was very similar with broadheads.I was surprised to see that even at 30 the arrows impacted about 1" to the right of fp's.
I checked them through paper and I was also surprised to see that they shot bulletholes.
I have top of the line arrows,an arrow rest that is up untill the fletching gets to it for ultimate guidance.The bow has been tuned to perfection on Hooter shooter and in my hands.
What I am saying is if you have everything perfect,you might be close enough on spine to get acceptable flight.Not sure how they would penetrate for me at lower poundage.
My spine range wasn't that great and you are about as close as I was with the 500's so they MIGHT work to your satisfaction.
