I put this on the technical board too, but thought more people would read it here to help me.
Well I shot my new bow again tonight just to make sure it was still shooting good through paper. And tonight its back to throwin the arows nock high again. I am shooting Carbon Impacts 6500, 63 lbs. bow. 28 inch draw. I and using a bodoodle type rest with 2 arms that hold the arrow, also using a string loop. I have no idea what the problem is. I shoot the carbons and they are nock high, I shoot my old aluminum 2114's and they are perfect, but I dont wanna use my aluminum arrows anymore I want to shoot the carbons. Ive tried movin my nocking point down and up and even starting over with it and I can't get a good hole. Ive tried lossening and tightening the spring on my rest and that doesnt help. Could anyone give me some advice on what to do? Should I try a different rest maybe?. Ive run out of ideas. By the way I was holding my bow arm at 90 degrees, my dad was there watching me the whole time makin sure I wasnt canting my bow or squeezing the grip or holding my bow arm straight.

At 28 inches that would be a pretty stiff arrow.
I believe they may be to stiff for only 63 pounds. The 6500 at 28 inches is recommened for 73 - 91 pound draw weight.
Try to test fire a 6000 and see how that goes.
