Default Paper tuneing with offset or helix fletchings?

I am having an aweful time paper tuneing my bow with my new arrows. Last week I got a trophy ridge dropzone and I set it up on my bow. I use to shoot pse dominators so I decided to tune it with them first as not to destroy any of my new arrows. In 10 or 12 minutes I was shooting bullet holes. Then I grabed my new arrows 7595 goldtip camo pro with a 4 degree right off set. I for the life of me can't get these arrows to fly correctly and shoot bullet holes.
At first I thought it was just the fletchings spinning that was tearing the paper more than normal. I went back to shoot at 25 yards and I can see my arrow are a little squirlley in the rear. I tried for a couple of hours to correct the flight problems but to no avail.

I'm curious if a helix or off set fletchings will shoots nice small bullet holes like a straight vane and is the tuneing process the same?
Do you have any tips or hint that may help me find the flight disturbance.?

How long are your arrows, what poundage and draw lenght.

The 7595's could be over spined for your set up.

I'm shooting 29in draw firestorm light. Arrows are 29.75", 125g. field points and I'm shooting 72lbs. I'm right on the cusp between the 5575 and 7595 but thought a heavier arrow would be better then an under spined arrow.

Also, I meant to post this in the tech forum. If a mod sees this please move my post.
Thanks,
Chuck

could be cable contact
I doubt your arrow is over spined.
