If the arrow spine is correct, you definately have a tuning issue. Simple to fix.
 Try walk back tuning. I just set up a carbon element for my son. 29" 72#, 371 acc w/ 100 Gr shuttle T
 
    5 arrows and I was in the dot at 60 with broadheads. It is fool proof. Forget the paper. It is only a starting point.

  Make sure you hit very close to where you aim at 20 yds. Shoot an arrow at a blank bale, WALK BACK to 30 yds, shoot at the first arrow with your 20 yd pin. Since you walked back 10 more yds Your arrow should drop lower than the first shot. If you feel you made a good shot and the arrow shot slightly left move your rest slightly to the right and visa versa for a right impact. I do mean SLIGHTLY move the rest. a 64th of an inch will make a difference. Given that your rest is not set knock high or low. I usually set the rests on all of our bows a skightly knock high. maybe a 1/16" of bubble high. Do all of this with field points. Then progress to broad heads. We all shoot shuttle T broadheads. I screw them on, Do not match the vanes and blades. (4 Fletch For me) shoot them . They all fly well.

Good post :tup: 

Not sure why walk back tuning doesn't get more attention.  It really is easy and near flawless if your bubble is correct!  Every time I've thought I found a flaw with it I go back and check all axis adjustments on the sight and find I made the mistake and not the walk back tuning method.  I need to start giving it more emphasis in the future.  Really glad you chimed in with that one CGS!

I always just get close with paper and then bareshaft at 15-20 yards (field points only). Usually that gets me very close with broadheads. I finished up yesterday and with a tiny rest adjustment have my broadheads flying and grouping with my field points at 50 yards. Ill confirm farther ranges next time out. Based on the op bare shaft picture the bow really needs some tuning... wether that be rest movement or yoke tuning or dw adjustment etc will need to be figured out with the bow in hand. It is no surprise broadheads are flying very poor after seeing the bareshaft picture.

Corey, You have to be able to shoot as good as the bow can shoot or you are wasting your time :chuckle:

So, I took off all of my broadheads and put them on different shafts where the blades and fletches didn't line up. I spin tested them and then shot them. The accuracy is fine. So Rad, you've saved me an extra step for the future. I appreciate your knowledge. How about some knowledge on the location of some prime elk meat on the hoof now?????

Just meat is good for me. Anything in the freezer this year to prove to my wife I'm not actually going to the Mustang Ranch for 10 days each Fall.
