Just shoot field points until two weeks before the season starts and then only shoot broad heads from that point on.  A guy can really beat himself up trying to get field points and broad heads to impact at the same spot.  Sometimes they do sometimes they don't.  I also wouldn't buy new broad heads hoping that fixes the problem.

I’ve always bare shaft tuned my bow starting at about 8 yards and moving back to about 15. If you can get bare shafts and fletched field points entering the target on the same trajectory broadheads should follow suit, if they don’t then I usually find that my form is a little off and I’m torquing the bow.

This video is helpful, he starts explaining bare shaft tuning at 6 minutes.

I’d start with this and see how you need to move the rest to bare shaft tune.

Also like D-Rock said, number your arrows. Sometimes you just have a flier, sucks to chase tuning problems when you actually have an arrow problem

I fought this same thing two years ago. I have a similar set up as you but with 29in arrows and I am right on the bubble for spine. For some reason Axis 340’s couldn’t handle the 125’s and my rampages did alright, so I dropped down to 100gr heads and that made a noticeable difference.  I also walked back tuned my bow last year and that got me right in the money!  Try shooting 100 and 125 field points about as far out as you still feel you can accurately shoot. Whichever one shoots tighter is the weight your spine of arrows likes.

Thanks for all of the comments (even the suggestion to aim low left :chuckle:).  Today I lowered the draw weight  to about 62lbs, and BOOM! My TiCon 125s were right on out to 30 yards. I'm not sure what the deal is, but I'm happy.  :)
