All the broadheads you are using are good heads and should tune.

What kind of fletching?  Offset, helical, straight?  A straight fletch won't stabilize broadheads nearly as well and could contribute to your problem.

I think you are a little light on the spine, but bareshaft to check.

Check for fletching contact with lipstick or some foot spray. 

Have someone else shoot your bow to see if it is you.

To use those arrows I would back the boundage down to around 58-60 and shoot. 100 grain heads. Still tuning to do but should get you some consistency.

You are under spined. Use a stiffer shaft and slick trick broadheads your arrows will fly true. :tup:

I am also curious what type of fletchings you're using. By the sounds of it I don't think you are under spined, I am shooting a very similar setup, 28 in. draw with 400 spine arrows. What arrows are you shooting?

Using a different broadhead will be a waste of money.

For the price of the NAPs you can probably buy an Arizona EZ Fletch and do your own.  If I can do it, you can.  Superglue, beer, and some directions off the internet.

Are the quickfletches helical or straight?  You don't need four vanes, but it won't hurt.  Just depends on if you can still get vane clearance with four.  Three 4" vanes with a decent offset and helical will stabilize any of those broadheads just fine.

First thing you should do is bareshaft to check spine, then check for vane contact, then have a buddy shoot your bow.

You'll get it figured out.

I'm not sure if a 4 vane quickfletch is available.  Your arrows fly straight with field tips and its when you throw on a broadhead when you get the bad arrow flight.  I've had a similar problem as well.  I'd make sure every thing is aligned properly as far as the arrow rest goes.  If you dont have the tools do check this take it to a shop and have them check it.  Look at your knock point too.  Checking for fletch clearance is also important.  However if it clears with a field tip it should clear with a broadhead.  Im not an expert but it seems like some bow/arrow/broadhead combos just dont like eachother.  Broadheads and arrows are expensive so one doesnt want to waste alot of money on trying to see what may or may not work.  Maybe borrow a few friends arrows or broadheads and do a little mix and matching.  Hellrazors look like the montec...but they are not the same.

Fletching contact will still occur with FP, but it might not be visible.  I can take a poorly tuned bow, or one with vane contact and get it to shoot FP accurately.  Put on BH, and now it's a different story.

I guess we should have asked, do you know how to tune your bow for BH flight?
