Default I just read 5-shot's....

I just read 5- shot's literature on broad head tuning. Very good info...but one thing I hear often is arrow wobble. Obviously, you want no wobble in your arrow with a broad head attached, but what if there is? How do I correct it?

Heat the inserts, reposition them, make sure they are snug, even. repeat with nocks, minus the heating. Use an arrow straightener, or just pick the best spinning arrows you have.

Josh posted some good advice. The only other thing I might add is that with ICS style carbon arrows you cannot really "fix" them if they are less than your desired straightness level. You can cut off of both ends instead of just one though and this can help to some extent.

Yup..if the arrow is not straight to begin with your SOL.[:'(]

Make sure that the nock and point ends of the carbons are as square as you can get them, then use a slow setting glue (epoxy, powerbond) install inserts with the broadheads you want to use, and use an arrow spinner of some sort to adjust the insert 'til they spin straight.

Do the same thing if you are using uni-bushings in the back end for nocks.

And make sure you are buying straight arrows in the first place.
