I use Gold Tip's 5575 (Ted Nugent) cut at 27.5", my bow is a Bowtech Tribute set @ 63# with a D.L. of 28", NAP Thunderheads 100 grains broadheads. I've tried helical, offset and straight fletching, even Quickspins; but beyond 45 yards my grouping goes to the ground. With field tips I don't have any problem even at 60yards.
Please I need your advice.

I would check the basics to start. Nock fit, centershot , tiller and other bow specs, broad head alignment, nock pt highth, feather alignment in relation to rest.

If they ae shooting good groups out to 45 ..You may just want mark your your 50,and 60 pin and then lower them for your broad heads ...practice that range with the broadheads then move em back later if you want to shoot field points ....or limit your range ..my arrows drop like a rock after 50 ..I don't plan on shooting past that ..but, that's just me ..

I would try a couple of different weight points. If it was field points, I would say your shafts were too stiff. But, since the field points are flying well, I would say your heads might not be mounted correctly or the arrow is a little weak spined.

If you can I would try some 75 grain field points and broadheads see what the effect was.

He said they weren't grouping, not that they were dropping more. Moving the pin down is not going to solve his problem.

How bout trying a different broadhead to see if that makes any difference?? I have had really good luck with the Rocket Ultimate steel and Magnus Stingers. I use to shoot Thunderheads and they did not fly as good. Changing your weight as Deezlin said would be another option. Try the easiest things first. Good luck.

If arrows are grouping but at a distance BH are all lower, I'd raise my rest or lower my nock point. You can always try another broadhead first.
-Montecs ASD is a good tool to square both ends of your arrow. Some say it's overkill; I say attention to detail helps accuracy.
