I was shooting pretty consistent when I was shooting field tips. But when I threw on some broadheads to re-sight my bow for deer hunting, I will hit with 0.5" of where I aimed on one shot at 20 yards, and the other will be like 8 inches off. Does anyone have any suggestions?

first when shooting field tips be sure to use the exact weight as your broadhead. Second what type of bow are you shooting and the brace hieght if you r brace hieght is under 7 inches the bow is fast but leaves no room for error. Here is anothe rgreat idea for you though buy a set of muzzy broad heads they come with practice broadheads that are the exact weight that matches your reghular broadheads

Your bow isn't tuned properly yet. With a properly tuned bow, broadheads and field tips should hit in the same spot. BT is right about the point weight. They need to be the same. Heavier points weaken arrow spine, lighter points stiffen it. Spine is important for proper grouping. Also make sure that all of your arrows are perfectly straight. I usually buy a dozen arrows at a time, putting six of those aside for hunting and never shooting them until hunting season rolls around. Then, and only then, I shoot each one of them one time to make sure they're hitting where they should be. If you have to shoot more often to get tuned up, buy extra blades and replace them before going hunting.
Your arrow rest may be the culprit for your problem. You can try moving it in very small increments until all your arrows (as long as the above suggestions are followed) group in the same place. Don't worry about them not hitting where you aim. First get your hunting arrows and your practice arrows to group in the same place. Then move your sights to get them to hit in the bullseye.
Good luck to ya!
