Default RE: Need Help / Advice with Tuning Problems

Whisker bisquits are one type of rest I simply detest, but it's not causing this problem.

I had a single cam once that would tune to the neatest, cleanest bullet hole you could imagine, way off centershot to the right. But the further you shot, the further right the arrows would hit. Turns out the carbon arrows I was shooting were right at the top of their spine range and simply were not enough arrow for that bow. When I put stiffer spined arrows on it, the bow lined out and turned into a shooter.

You don't say what brand, model and size arrows you're shooting or what your draw length and draw weight are, but I suspect your arrows are underspined.

Also, paper tuning is just as much, or more, of a test of your shooting form as it is a test of bow tune. You could be torquing the bow pretty bad and causing that left tear.

So, go back to the pro shop, double check your arrow selection and, if the arrow you chose is anywhere close to the top of it's spine range, move up to the next size. Have them reset your centershot and watch you shoot to see if they can detect any torque. You might also try a stabilizer in the 8-12" range to help you control the torque.
