Update-- I went out today and decided to shoot my broadheads (Woodsman 125gr-3blade). Arrows flew perfect and broadheads/fieldpoints hit in same spot.  Such a relief that tuning is over.  I set my bareshafts where they would fly the best(still nock high) as many suggested.  Here is a pic. Shots were at 20 yds and for me , this is a pretty good group.  The one arrow to the left was a shot that I felt a bad release.  Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. Just for reference, my nockpoint ended up at 1/2" and braceheight is at 7 1/2". The vey top arrow and the far left arrow are the broadheads.

"I need some help. This has been a nightmare trying to tune my 45#@28 Grizzly..."

Hi Wes,

Today I'm having the same problem. I have the same bow as you but my draw is 28" and I have full length GT5575s spined @.400. I've gone up and down with point weights. Nock is still too high. Not much side to side deviation.  
Now I'm fletching one arrow and I will adjust my point weights with a 3X4" feathered shaft, right helical.
Without reading the other posts, heres my point:
- Start looking at every aspect of your set up and make one adjustment at a time.
- Relax, its a sport, not a job. hings will work out for you.
Just MHO.

Regards....  :thumbsup:

It's an awesome thing watching a broadhead tipped arrow fly straight and effortlessly toward the target and hit where you're aiming.  Thanks again for everyone's help.

you can also nock to high where arrow bumps off shelf i would try to paper tune but it hard to get a ggod release for perfect flight. i would play with it til i get my best grouping .you can try a release ad to get good paper tear then go back to finger and paper tune at ddifferent yardages

Momo, If you'll read the entire post, You'll see what my conclusions were.  I ended up at 1/2' nock high and around 7 1/2" braceheight.  Broadheads fly perfect.
