Default Broadheads Flatter?

Anyone shoot a flatter trajectory with your broadheads than your field tips? In other words my broadheads are flying with less drop. I sighted in a 22 yd pin and 35 yd pin with field tips. I throw on the broadheads and 22 is on but 35 is way high. I can almost shoot the 22 yd pin at 35 yards with my broadheads. It may have somthing to do with the speed Im shooting them, causing them to "fly" a little?? Here is my set up:
Bowtech Dual Cam Patriot, 30" @ 74 lbs.
GT 7595 @ 27.5 inches (424 gr)
Shooting 125 gr G5 Montec's
Copper Johns Sight and MZE

I chronographed this setup at 305 fps. The 424 is total arrow weight w broadhead. Anyway Im not complaining about my situation here just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

One thing that I forgot to mention, I have to rotate my broadhead in a manner that will allow it to clear the shelf of the riser. The MZE barely picks up that short of an arrow in time for it to clear. So I have to rotate it till one of the three blades is directly up and the other two are as parallell as possiblr with the ground/shelf. So the broad head is a "Flight Position" at the start. Maybe that is contributing as well.

How are your arrows fletched? It sounds like your broadheads might be planing.

Fletching is just a slight offset. Nothing drastic.
