You probably have some sort clearance issue. What arrow rest are you using?

Are you using good quality arrows, properly fletched? Have you tried paper tuning the bow?

I'm using realtree mfx 400 with 2 in blazers 100 gr field tips.bow tech gaurdian @65 lbs.28in draw length, shaft cut@27in.I did the fletching with a slight off set.do you think that moving the fletching one way or another would make any difference?or is this not the right set up?

Could the fletching be possibly contacting the cables?
