I finally realize after shooting in basement why a 233gr Snuffer will hit target at a different spot than a 233gr Zwickey Delta. The broadheads have different balance points, changing FOC on the same shaft from 24.3% to 23.6%. Resulting in the change in right/left impact. Probably obvious to many of you. I used to assume it was flight characteristics of different broadheads. Maybe why a broadhead and field point of the same weight strike different right/left. The extreme example of a long 200gr Grizzly vs a short fat 200gr field point, would change %FOC even more.

I shoot the real long 3 blade vpa.  I have to tune my arrows a bit stiff with a field point to be perfect with the head

Kind of blows the theory that traditional archery is simple.   :)

I would think a change in dynamic spine is occurring with the foc change causing the variation of impact.
How much of a difference left/right are you seeing?
shoot straight shoot often

Might be 2 vs 3 blades. ...
Seems odd that such a small difference would cause such an impact change.  But it could be all in the tune.

Shoot as much weight as you can with accuracy

Don't know much about FOC cause I don't worry about it. But I thought it was measured from BOP to valley of the nock.
