I didn't see this mentioned in the manual anywhere so I just turned the limb bolts in 1.5 turns each which according to the manual should be about 4.5 lbs (was 56lbs when at Hardcore so should be right around the 60lb mark now) and didn't touch anything else but maybe the manual neglected to mention needing to adjust other things at the same time?
Make sure it was Ken(the owner without grey hair) and not Chuck that checked it over.

I think the OP may have an arrow spine issue if he has cranked his bow up since buying his arrows and 150 grain broadheads add alot of length to arrow overall compared to his field tips? Hard to diagnose this kind of thing over the internet!!! Can just throw out suggestions to him from our experiences.
I believe I was at the low end of the range for those arrows, I believe they were rated 60 to 75 lbs, I'm only just 60 now with it maxed out. How much difference does broad head weight make? I just looked at the charts on the Victory Archery website and with 100gr or 125gr points I could likely have gotten away with 400 spine instead of the 350 so I don't think spine would be the problem?
Re: HELP!! Broadheads hit 3" lower than field points
How long are your arrows from the valley of the nock to end of the carbon?
Re: HELP!! Broadheads hit 3" lower than field points
Here is a list of things to look for:
Bow timing at brace
Cam synch at full draw
Arrow spine for lbs and tip weight
Arrow contacting something on the bow after release, fletches hitting something.
Nock to tight on serving
Nock being pinched by Dloop
Centre shot correct
Berger hole to arrow alignment
Draw length proper
Proper bow grip ( not holding it like your choking a chicken )
Proper form on release
String rubbing hard on your face at full draw
