For the original poster....I was shooting broadheads (mechanical Spitfires) at 86 yds in a cross wind yesterday. Compared to my field points they drifted more. I was at 86 yds as that was the one spot I could stand and shoot out of the wind, but a few yard into flight the arrows had full effect of the cross wind on them. I'd say average drift was about 8 or 10" for the broadheads and half that for the field points. I'm shooting Easton Carbon Injexions with Blazers which have a very slim profile and don't drift too much in the wind.
I moved up to 60 yards and couldn't shoot decently due to the wind. Dropped the Tight Spot quiver off the bow and knelt down and brought my group size to 1/2 the size of standing with the quiver on. Still wouldn't take a shot at a critter in wind like that without getting a lot closer....maybe at 30 yds of the wind wobble and arrow drift would be tolerable.
