Default Mathews Switchback Question

Is the roller guard supposed to be bent towards arrow or away?
I am tearing the crap out of my fletching which never happend before and I did take it to the bow shop to get tuned.

Supposed to be bent inward towards the arrow. Check your centershot, if its too far inward, it could cause fletching contact.

If this isn't the case, try rotating the arrow to provide more clearance.

O.K. I am definetly hitting the roller cable gaurd. I used some baby powder on my vanes and the end near the rollers was covered in powder, I switched to **** feather down and no dust at all.
Should I just shoot **** feather down or should I have it tuned AGAIN?
