my bolts with hunting tips are not shooting straight. Everything is OK when I use target practice tips but goes heywire once I am back to broadheads. I am shooting crossbow but I thought it must be same with any kind of bow shooting.

I am using three-bladed 1.25" cutting length 100 grains broadheads from Wal-Mart. Bolts are 20" long 2216 aluminium tubes and fletching is 5" long. Xbow is PSE Rattler Viper compound with 165 pounds draw weigth and some 13" power stroke. Advertised speed is 285 fps.

Suggestions are much appreciated.

I'd start by "tuning the heads", meaning heat the arrow up just behind the broadhead to melt the glue. Then rotate the head a small amount and reshoot. A good starting point would be initially to line the blades up with the fletching and start from there.
