Thoughts: 1) are you spin testing your broad head/arrow combos prior to shooting? Given what you've done I would assume so, but it's always worth asking. They have to spin perfect.

2) when was the bow tuned/has the string stretched? Might be worth going back to jimbows and having them re-spec tune it, just to be sure/as a starting point.

3) Are you shooting the appropriate spined arrow? Sometimes a borderline weak spine can paper tune well but have poor broadhead flight. See this with guys who are obsessed with arrow speed, light arrows, it never works out well. Try going up on both spine and gpi.

4-5 inches at 20 yards shows a serious problem that needs to be corrected. Screwing on mechanicals is not the answer, in fact that's exactly how we hear about lost animals. FYI If I was a betting man, my money would be on #3 as the problem/solution.
1- I bought a spin tester and everything seems to be ok on the arrows I have in my quiver
2- I may just do that today on the way home
3- I'm shooting at 65# and a 28.5" draw length. My arrows are 340 spine and 11.3 GPI
