OK, I noticed lastnight when I was shooting that some of my fletchings had several 4-5 marks on them, like they tapped something upon release.
Shooting more this morning, Good for 2-3 shots then one goes high, then one goes far right. (Barn door is taking a beating) Now I'm confussed until I go get my arrows.
The three that grouped good all fletchings are decent, The two that took off have multiple scrapes and one hasa torn flight.
New NAP 360 Rest installed, thougth it was shooting good, had bow restrung yesterday, don't know if that caused additional problems. The only thing the fletchings can hit is the rest, with 1 degree offset how are the fletchings rotating around to the arms?
I have adjusted the rest as the instructions say, shooting XX75 2216 Lite Aluminum arrows, 4" plastic fletchings, 1 Degree offset,125grain field points. Hoyt Provantage Rocket
I'm lost and getting very frustrated. If the arrow goes thru the rest correctly I group very good at 30 yards, if it hits then I sail a foot high or right.
BTW - Left handed shooter here.

Also I wanted to add that the damage to thevanes seems to be on the opposite side I would expect it.
1 degree offset would cause arrow to slightly rotate clockwise, damage is on topside of the right vane.
Chatter marks are on all vanes including vane.
Damage is only on top of that right vane.

OK, I can buy that, I have last yearsarrows without the new adjustable nock systems.
I will have to break off the old nocks and replace with some of the easton plastinocks.
Can I shoot without glueing them so I can tune the setting?
Also how would you fletch the arrows? AAE Fletch III sets the angles for me...
Also why would some arrows have the problem while others don't?
Thanks in advance,
Keith

don't shoot them with out glueing them!! basically you want your cock vane down going through the rest it should pretty much line up with your string.and check your arms on the rest make sure there not to close togetherthey should ride in beteween the the fletchings on your arrow. soon as you glue them put them on your string and line them up then let them dry about a 1/2 hour.

OK, with the offset (Shooting the standard 1degree)do you line up the front of the vane or the back of the vane when setting the nock point?
Could the problem be how I'm fletching the arrows? With the AAE Fletch III jig the vanes are offset right to left from front to back. (Looking from nock end)
As someone suggested I downloaded the Easton tuning guide and will work with that for a couple days to see if I can figure out my problem.
I must of been dumb lucky that everything worked so well last year without much effort. (That was my first year hunting with it)
