No problem, you can use as many as you want.

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

Try the same arrow with a field tip in it.  If it flies like its supposed too then the broadhead isn't tuned right.  This causes it to fight agfainst your fletching causing erratic arrow flight.  Or your arrow may be bent or possibly not cut square causing the broadhead to align improperly.  If they shoot fine with 150gr field points you don't need to add weight to a 150gr. broadhead.  150gr. is 150gr. no matter what kind of point it is.

Sounds like wind planing.

What size is your fletch? Go big or go home.

Most of the time I shoot a slightly stiffer arrow with a broadhead to get good flight then with the same weight field point.

[Ragnarok Forge]

Tuning your shafts with field points is only the beginning.  Broadhead flight is where the real work begins.  It sounds to me like your spine is off on the arrows.  You either need to cut or have a longer arrow or change spine. To get them to fly right.

If snuffers do have a tendency to wind plane if they are not aligned correctly.  Try aligning the blades of the snuffer with your fletching.

Stevewills, you are most likely underspined with the Snuffers. They are longer than field points, and effectively lengthen your arrow when you put them on. Try higher spine, shorten your arrow a bit, or use lower weight Snuffers. I've had exactly the same thing happen to me.

"Wind planing" is a spine issue, not wind.
