Your asking a for a lot. The goal with a fixed broadhead is to get "consistant" shot placement, that way you can adjust your scope to that POI. However, in some instances you get lucky, and your POI will match the broadhead to the fieldpoint, but not always. Most times that guys have a broadhead that hits the same POI as a fieldpoint they are using Slick Tricks.
My suggestion is to try those, nobody has anything bad to say about them.

I may add, you will often see manufactures use a term something like "flies like a field point", keep in mind they are refering to consistant flight, they are not saying it will match YOUR field points.
Trial and error will be your only guide.

Slicks work for me too. "Flies like a field tip" may be affected by the size of vanes and your arrows' FOC, however. Mine are like 18% FOC and 2" Blazers or Fusion vanes.

I have found that G5 Montec's as well as Slick Tricks fly the same as my field points.

what iv,e found is if you have the right arrow for your bow weight that,s strait and spins well with like said a 18 percent foc and blazers with a lot of helix or offset you should be able to shoot what ever broadheads you want that match the weight of your fieldpoints to about same poi out to 50 yds. works for both my bows a vortex and equinox.just make sure all the arrows you try with fieldpoints shoot the same poi before trying the broadheads.
