Any broadhead with a 5 degree taper can be mounted on a 5/16" shaft, however if you are looking for one that fits flush with the shaft, there are 3 or 4 but my choice would be the 5/16" Zwickey Eskimo

No Sights, Bob is correct.  You can still mount the 11/32 b'head on the 5/16 shafts.  It works just fine and I've been doing it for years.  I  find the installation to be very strong as well because there is no stress line at the back of the ferrule and the shaft so the shaft is much less likely to break at the back of the point.  Another option is to grind about 1/8th+ inch off the back of the ferrule and it will now be a 5/16 model.
