RE: Steelheads grouping problems
I think you also have a tuning problem. Heck I have not shot a steelhead that didn't group with field points. It's hard to say without actually looking at your equipment though. Are your broadhead tipped arrows straight? I know it sounds like a simple question, but you may have to bad arrows.

RE: Steelheads grouping problems
If your bow is tuned {center shot}. I will put money on it that it is your rest. Those wisker basket rests aren't very good when it comes to strait arrow flight. Once your arrow is released and slightly touches something in flight,unless your centershot is perfect those wisker basket rests will make eratic arrow flight. you may not notice it with field points but you will find out when you put a fixed blade broadhead or even a mechanical head on.

RE: Steelheads grouping problems
Why not move the rest to the right a 1/16" at a time till your broadheads are hitting right on. I know your field tips will not group with the broad heads but if you are going hunting soon it is the fastest and cheapest way to get the broadheads tuned.
Good luck.

RE: Steelheads grouping problems
I had the same problem, but my groups were good at 20 yards and at 30 yards they went to the left about 4 inches. I use a center shot gauge and my center shot was right on, so I moved my shoot through rest to the right about 1/4 inch and my groups were good at 20 to 35 yards. My paper tune are now bullet holes and the bow is more accurate.
I've noticed that sometimes you have to move the rest off center to micro tune.
Before buying a new rest, move the rest in about 1/4 inch, adjust your sights and see what happens. Get your steel heads on target then try your field points, sometimes by doing this your field points will hit where the steel heads hit.
If this doesn't work, then It's probably your rest.
