ok, got the bow tuned, shot paper, stripped all the arrows, and refletched with blazers, right helical. couldn't decide between muzzy and montec, so i got 3 of each to see which grouped better.

frankly, they both grouped fine, but here's the oddity. about 1 arrow in six would just kinda corkscrew of down and right. not consistently, and not the same arrow or broadhead. the rest were all nice and tight, within about 3-4 inches of each other. since this only happened infrequently, and on different arrows, is this likely "operator error"?

sounds like maybe your tourqing...i cant myself doing that from time to time after the shot. watch your level(if you use one) and watch your grip. keep it nice and loose. i touch my thumb to my index finger tip around the grip. i let the rest hang. after the shot the bow should move on its own and your grip should be the same. i have a bad habit of "catching" the bow..which tourqed it ever so slightly. when i shot with an open hand and dont grab after the shot my groups are excellent...make sure its not the same arrow doing that though..you said it wasnt but double check..i have one arrow that does that consistantly...i gota look at it when i get a chance and see if i can find out why

Yup. I would bet dollars to doughnuts bow torque is the culprit. Double double check your vane clearance though.
