Well if it is an arrow problem that doesn't say much for the guy who sets bows up or the shooter. I'll give ya the benifit of doubt and say it's a mechanical problem maybe a bent axel.
Alot of people out there trying to tune these bows off of the arrow chart specs when they need to go to a stiffer spine. It's a common mistake, I know to check it, you might know to check it, but people are doing it just the same on a daily basis.
It should show up as a spine issue shouldn't it? Even if it didn't I wouldn't be ready to toss a bow without trying different arrows/spine. The guy who sets bows up should be aware of spine issues.

I just don't want to talk down to the guy. He claims to know what he's doing, so be it.

This conversation is a good heads up for those that want to shoot the bow. Thanks for the info.
