I cannot recall where it is, but there is a chart somewhere on this Site that will tell you what the problem is, and how to correct it.
Right now I am not finding it.

Can anyone here help??

No! you have arrows that are under splin for that bow. If you are a right hand shooter, whe arrows go to right when under splin to the left when over splin. Left hand shooter reverse. You some times can increase spline with just lower weight points. Just watch the total weight of arrow, if too light you will have a good chance of having your bow the same as dry firing and can distroy the bow. OH for the experts that think this is crazy, well just send me your E-mail and I will be glad to send some photo's of bows that are in my shop that shooters have paid the bottom line $$$$$. for shooting light carbon.
GOOD LUCK

I thought for RH shooters of recurves -
Underspined fly left and way over-spined generally wobble like heck.
Jusy my experience, i guess...

And yes, be careful... shooting carbons tend to get you rather close (and loudly I must say) to doing some damage to that bow. How much to those Bemans weigh, tip included?

Although, I'm no expert... only carbons I've tried were Bemans (can't remember the #), they were spined ok for the bow, but were really some lightweights and very noisy shooting.

I agree that those arrows are too light for a 60 pound bow, unless you've added weight tubes.

But, getting back to your question, assuming you're right handed... If the arrows are shooting right and are grouping consistently, I'd say you need to build out the strike plate on the rest with a dot of moleskin or leather.

But that's just a generalized guess. I haven't looked at the charts to make a guess on how a 400's spine matches up to 60 pounds, and that could be part of it. There also might be some form issues that need to be addressed as well. Only someone who can watch you shoot could help with those.

Are the arrows flying strait w/out wobbling or fishtailing? What arrows were you shooting before the carbons? If they were bigger diameter the thinner shafts could be it & the ole hair covered 'puter will make corrections given time.

Like stated above, be sure you have enuff arrow weight that you don't damage your bow.
