What Steve said.  Also,the left limb is bending a little too much about six-eight inches from the fades.  Here is a graphic that might help:
 
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I'm very new to this, just made my first osage selfbow, first bow altogether really, but I got a good shooter out of OJAM this weekend and got alot of good advise and help. Get a 6 inch scale or something that is around 6 inches and flat. Pull it down and hook it and use the scale to find your flat spots. Remember to not take off to much at the tips or just past the fades, or anywhere really. Go slow and try not to take off too much at a time. Hope this newbie advise helps.
