Default RE: HELP tuning nightmare w/bowtech defender

Well, here I go again. For those asking I'm in Michigan. I contacted Bowtech's tech support line yesterday. They told me not to worry and that they would take care of me no matter what they needed to do. (whew). They said to take it to a different bow shop and have them look at it. So last evening I took it to a different dealer and he immediately saw several small things that could be my problem. He reset my nock and center shot. Made my dropzone come to full rize just a touch earlier. Changed my string loop and then had me shoot the bow. The arrows no longer visibly fishtailed but we still had my inevitable right tear in the paper tune test. After experimenting with a few grip styles I couldn't get the tear to go away. We added a wrist sling and still the tear remained. The shop owner tried shooting my bow and still had a right tear. Then he had his other employee shoot the bow (apparantly a long time PSE shooter) Bullet hole on his 1st try!!! He shot 5 more arrows all w/perfect shots. He worked w/me on my grip but still I got the right tear. He said it would just take practice for me to shoot it properly. So now I'm back to square 1. Is this a common experience for you guys? What if I'm not ever able to shoot it properly? I've never had a problem w/other bows so why this one? Just a few questions on my mind. Thanks for the input. Also I'm trying to load a pic of my cable rod so you can see it. I checked another defender in the shop and it's rod also angled out to the right.
