Default NEED HELP with OUTBACK and LEFT tears

Hello Everyone,

I am extremely frustrated and have spent hours on end at two different bow shops trying to correct my problem. Here's my set-up: I am shooting a Mathews Outback, 70 lbs (currently set at 63 lbs), 30" draw. Accessories are; Gold Tip, 3D-Pro 55/75, cut to 29" with 100 grain tips (approximately 401 grains with tips and eze-eye cresting and fletching). I am using a Trap Door rest and a string loop.

I am trying to get bow tuned to shoot broadheads and cannot get them to fly worth a darn. I use Montec G5's.

Before we start - I'd like to say that I am probably a well "above" archer, my anchor and draw is identical each time and a shoot with an open grip. When my set-up is correct, I typically shoot 10 out of 12 arrows in the bulls at 30 yards. I guess what I am saying is this should not be a form problem. I've read some of the earlier post that the Outback had some problems with the cams early on and was wondering if maybe this could be my problem, as I bought the very first Outback to hit the Tulsa, OK area.

Tuning - Everything is dead-on and I get 1 1/2 - 2" tears to the left and a little low. I know that typically this means an underspined arrow, but I shot several other arrows of greater spine and ALL of them shot with left tears. Some were a little better, some were worse. What I have noticed is that the riser torques a little to the right at full-draw. The only fix to this would be for me to grip the bow and squeeze it back into position and we all know that that isn't a cure.

Mathews Tech and pro's - please help!!!!!!!
