Shot mine a few times. Shooting a little over to the left about 2-3 inches. Don't think my sight moved. I need to practice on my form.

I am so frustrated with my bow it isn't even funny. I can shoot field tips all day long and as soon as I put a broadhead on, the arrows corkscrew to the left like crazy. I have changed broadheads, rests, arrows, and checked the bow to be square and true and have found nothing that changes it. Anyone got any suggestions?

I had the same problem some years back when I was into bowhunting. The grain weight of the broadhead doesn't match the arrow at the draw weight you are shooting. Either decrease the gain of broadhead, or increase the spine of the arrow. Also, you may be shooting too heavy a poundage for your current arrow set-up.
Just some things to troubleshoot.

Took it to a pro shop to get tuned and they couldn't fix it. We got Rage 2 Blade Broad heads and that fixed it. They fly identical to field points. www.ragebroadheads.com/They make a nasty hole to.

Gotta love those rage broadheads. Used them for the first time last year a killed a doe with them. They fly tru and the blue practice blade really is just as accurate as the real broadhead. Wont ever shoot anything else. As for your bow woj, i would recommend just getting a lighter tipped broadhead. I used to shoot muzzy's and they would do the same thing. I was shooting only 52 lbs. at the time and a 90 gr. broadhead...I just dropped down to 75 grain and they flew much better. And I am getting very excited about the bow season. Saw 2 bucks over 120 and another slammer that was 140-150 in the same field!! That was the first time I had seen the biggen but I have seen the other 2 on a regular bases along with a couple other bucks. Got to get that trail camera out!!

They best arrow flight I got out of my bow was with the Crimson Talons. I also went from 125grain to 100grain to 85 grains and no change. I have tried 4 different size arrows. They all do the same thing. Doesn't matter if it is aluminum or carbon either. I bought a dozen Gold Tips with a spine weight of 60 - 75 lbs. I shoot 70 lbs and they couldn't handled it either. I will give the Rage expandables a try. I just don't trust expandables all that much but it seems from the picture above, it sure worked well. I will give them a try and report back. Hopefully that will work.
Thanks guys.

I didn't like expendables either till I tried them them. They have a slip cam opening so they will always open.
