1. you could switch to mechanical heads which should fly like your field points

2. are you shooting helical fletchings?

3. what is your draw length and weight + what is your arrow spine? you could be shooting an under spined arrow which may cause this

4. shoot a straight arrow with no fletchings at a target and see how it hits

1. might try some different broadheads but man, I’m so sick of sinking money into this thing. Just bought new arrows for it, too.

2. I don’t think they’re helical - slightly offset blazer vanes that came on the Easton bloodline arrows I bought

3. Max draw length on a PSE Sinister - I think it’s 30.5”. I’m 6’6” so the length might be a tad short but it’s the max on the bow. The arrows are 28.5” Easton Bloodline 400’s, and looking at the chart seem to be spined correctly. I don’t have a scale to test poundage but I’d guess 50lbs

4. Haven’t tried a naked arrow. Will try that as well.

ETA: Well shite. Maybe I’m OVERspined?. I thought the minimum poundage for my bow was 50 but it looks like 40 - Although looking at this chart, the 400’s don’t make an appearance until 47lbs. Maybe I should crank up the poundage - thoughts?
