First off, welcome to the board. There is a lot of good info available here. I will try to give some that might be helpful.

I don't worry about straightening my fletches; I just shoot them until they get too wrinkled and then I refletch. You might want to have your arrows refletched if they are very badly damaged.

If your fletching is wearing on just one particular fletch, then you may have a rest clearance problem. This might explain your 'high and left' groups. You can spray your arrow rest with aerosol foot powder and see if any gets wiped off by your fletching when you shoot.

When you adjust your sight, you are 'chasing the group'? That means if you are grouping high and left then you move your sight up and to the left. Good luck.

ps.: Whoops. Sorry, you might not be new to the board after all. Forgot about the bbs cornholing us all for a couple hundred posts. Good to e-meet you anyway!
