i would just leave it how it is, and every time you hunt then just adjust to broadheads when hunting ur supposed to shoot broadheads only a couple weeks before hunting season anyways.

I agree with nwwabowhuntr. Those charts don't take bow speed into the equation. A 300 ibo bows spine will be a lot different than a 350 ibos spine.

Before you spend any money or waste anymore time, tune your bow for broadheads as stated earlier using the easton broadhead tuning guide.  You just move the rest minutely.  The broadheads will adjust more than the field points, and when they start hitting the same spot, adjust your sites.  I had the exact same issue.  You should not have to adjust your sites every time you want to hunt.  Each different type of broadhead will shoot a little different and just because a head shoots just like a field point without any adjustment does not mean it is better than one that does not, it just means you got lucky and the bow is tuned for that particular broadhead.  All the broadhead needs to do is be consistent with itself, then it is up to you to get it hitting the same spot as feild points.  Broadhead manufactures should give out tuning instructions, they would keep a lot of customers that way.

Just wanted to give an update.  Heading out this weekend for Archery Elk and have been spending some time tuning my bow based upon many things, some of the recommendations listed in this topic. 
I havent had as much time shooting this year as I had hoped due to other commitments and was getting a bit frustrated trying a multitude of tuning recommendations.  Yesterday, I think I finally hit the mark.  I no longer shoot three consecutive arrows in the same target under 40 yards due to already splitting three arrows last year.  Now that I am getting ready for Archery Elk and only have 9 arrows left for this season.  3 with target points, 3 with broadhead target points and three broadhead hunting arrows.  Today, finally got the grouping I was needing to build my confident.   As you can see from the pic, they are still a bit left but overall the broadheads and fieldpoints are hitting the same spot. 

These are six consecutive shots at 50 yards. 

(No worries, I wont be taking 50 yard shots in the field)
