jimmi the sammi:
Do the arrowheads spin straight and true when you put them on a hard surface and spin the arrow shaft?  If not that could be the problem.

jimmi the sammi:
Standing straight up with the point on the hard surface.

Fox:
I bare shafted them with the broad heads... some of them are not perfectly straight when i spin them... Most are correct but a few are not quite right..

Pat B:
When I made a shoot or cane arrow I straighten them first then mount the head and spin each arrow on my finger tip or palm of my hand. If there is any wobble at all I recheck the straightness of the shaft and readjust the head and spin it again. Once it spins true it's time for fletching. Most of my shoot or cane arrows are not as straight as store bought arrows but if the point and nock line up the arrow usually shoots true.
 Another thought...are you putting the stiff side of the shaft against the bow?  Try shooting with the cock feather in towards the bow and see how they shoot.

jimmi the sammi:
The point MUST be completely straight for the arrow to fly properly.
