Default My arrows are flying funny

I just got some Gold Tip Expedition Hunters in 5575's. And these are the right spine for 60# and a 29" draw length and they are going around and around when going through the air. I shot one ofmy old Redhead carbon furys that i had left and it flew fine. I shot some of my friends eastons and the flew fine also. So is there something wrong with the arrow? Maybe the fletching? Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that i just got these arrows fletched yesterday and they didn't do a very good fletching them because i have had some of them fall off already. IDK if this has anything to do with them flying poorly tho.

Sounds to me like you have a fletching contact issue, try turning the nocks so they are clearing anything they could possibly be hitting.

If they spin true, it's likely a fletching problem. Look down the arrow while it's nocked, and make sure you aren't potentially having any fletching contact as well.

Agree with above... Sounds like bad fletching. Best advice is learn to fletch yourself!

Thanks for the help. It's probably the fletching because i was at a 3d shoot and at least one of the fletchings on 11 of the 12 arrows came off. I'm deffinately going to get them fletched somewhere else.
