Default RE: I am about ready to quit

Double Creek,
Yes, with feathers at fifteen yards. I understand the archers paradox, that the arrow needs to flex a little and oscillate early in flight. So I dropped down tip weight to 100 and cut my arrows as short as I could get them, thinking that they were underspined and needed to stiffen up, but it hasn't helped.
At 5 yards they are knock right, which I would expect. At twelve yards, they are the most extreme knock left, then at 15 they are knock left but not as much. But this to me is unacceptable, it is to much occillation. 15 yards is a kill range, and I can't have my KE being taken up by all this side to side movement. And I can't fix it!!!!!
I put my brace height back 7.5 inches, where the bowyer said it was supposed to be. Can I put a couple more twists in my string to increase it to try and fix it?
I have tried canting, straight up, deep fingers, shallow fingers. I don't know what else to do.
