Default RE: The swaying arrow problem

Thanks for the reply's guy's. I checked on the Easton site and they call this type
of problem minnowing. Like fishtailing but not as severe. They say it is usually
caused by fletching contact. I am using Blazers on the 2315's and 4 inch vanes
on the 75/95's. I went home this morning from work and put on a pacesetter
rest and both arrows minnowed toward the target like the other rests I used.
The pacesetter is a good one for good clearance. I tried other cable slides
so I don't think there is contact there. I have tried feathers but that did not
help. As for peeking, I guess I am but at 40 yards I can see the arrow
minnowing down range for a way's. I feel my form is good on the shot.
As for spine problem I really don't think that is it. Ive tried 2314's, 2315's
55/75's and 75/95's and get the same result. I would go to Len's shop but
it is a 3 hr. drive away one way so I'm leaving that as a last resort for now.
My tiller is set even on the bow. I do shoot all 3 same colored fletches on
my arrows so I can turn the nocks and tune the arrows. I feel the problem is
in the bow itself. One guy on another site thought the bottom cam and upper
control wheel might not be in alignment with each other causing the left/right
problem on the draw cycle and shot which might be possible. They were off
from each other a bit so I moved the bottom cam left a little. I will shoot it in
the morning to see if it made any difference. Thanks again for your reply's.
I'll let you know what happens. -Drew
