Out of tune bow?

Out of tune bow?
I pulled out my bow today and shot it for a while. My groups were good from about 30 yards and in. I was using my field points, and I hadn't shot my broadheads this year, so I decided to pull one out and shoot it. I shot it, and it dropped low and left of the target. I didn't think I moved, so I shot an arrow with my field point in it again, and it was right on. I have the Muzzy 3 Blade 100 grain. Could this be happening because my bow is out of tune?
Thanks.

Well I got a Whisker Biscuit put on my bow last season, and it seemed to not be shooting the same as my previous rest. The guy that put it on said he squared it up and put it on, so I figured it should be alright. I didn't end up shooting a deer last season with my bow, and I shot my Muzzys a couple times and they seemed to be shooting alright. I didn't shoot them a whole lot, but enough to get the feel for them. I took the broadhead off, and let my brother shoot the same broadhead on his arrow, and his shot straight. He has a brand new bow this year.

ok
first spin test your heads and make sure they are true.
Then look up eastons tuning guide, go to the broadhead section and follow it. You should be able to get yout BH & FP's hitting same POI.

I've only been shooting for a year, so I'm not sure how to spin test my broadheads. Whats the procedure?

I was actually thinking about bringing it into a local shop to get my poundage increased. I think that they could also help me tune my bow. I don't think that it has shot as well as it originally had before I purchased the whisker biscuit. I just like the WB, because of the easy arrow loading, and not being a very experienced bow hunter, I would get an occasional arrow fall off the rest. My group isn't perfect at 30 yards, but I can keep them pretty close. At 10-20, its pretty much dead on, but when I let the broad head fly, it seemed to not fly correctly. I think some little adjustments should correct that. What about a paper tune on my bow?

My little brother also shot the broadheads on his arrows and they flew just like his field points. He also shoots a whisker biscuit, and his arrows flew fine, so I don't think that it's the broadhead.
