move your rest left and move to about 10 yards. When you get it flying good at 10 move to 20 and repeat.

appearing to start off straight is normal.

Also make sure your fletch is not hitting the cable.

Some good advice by Rockport. If you're breaking a lot of arrows then you're shooting too far. Just me but I am familiar with your rest and that's one thing I would dump in a hurry. We give advice about looking for fletching contact, but you are shooting a rest that leaves no doubt.

I'm still going to advise getting help from a shop.

You must have something Ive never seen before if you move your rest left and your arrow doesn't move left.

the arrow just keeps fishtailing to the right and lands at an angle in the target

Did the arrow start hitting further left on the target though?
