bails are bad, arrow punches right through them and tears the fletching right off.

I use a cardboard box filled with shrink wrap and never had a problem shuts a 310 ft per second arrow right down

Instinct try the broadhead G 5 Montec.

I make no adjustments to my pins all the way out to 40 yards.

just curious why you have to change your sights between fieldtips and broadheads

Practice with the field points and switch to broadheads before hunting season.

I have two sets of broad heads, one set for practicing, and one set for hunting (use the same set's though).

Lower your rest 1/32 of an inch, and move it to the right the same amount.  You should not have to resight for broadheads.

Haven't tried the montecs but I love my shuttle t locks.  Partly for this reason, tried some muzzy's and some cabela's both wouldn't match what I had sighted in for my fp.  Switched to the t locks and haven't had a problem.
