Default Arrows going crazy

My arrows are moving all over the place not on the target meaning when I shoot. and I dont know why its doing it i just put a new rest on and i didnt notice if it started then, But it has a lot of movement to it now. Does any one know what it might be....I think it might be hitting the reset but im not sure please help.

Thank You

If you just put a new rest on the likely reason is that your rest isnt in tune. In otherwords, your rest isnt squareto your string causing your arrows to go crazy. You need to paper tune your rest to start, then bare shaft tune. Goto Eastons website, the have a tuning guide that will help you.

If they aren't flying consistantly to one point of impact, my first suspicion is always fletch contact.

Clos21 the easton tuning guide goes over what you are asking about. And if I remember correctly it is due to improper tuning of the rest.

Then again it could be your fletching hitting your bow arm, the rest or the bow causing them to wobble. Look at your shafts while in the target to see if they are paralell to each other and pointing straight back from where you shot them. This might tell you something.

For me when I had this problem I had to go to a heavier
arrow. The lighter arrows kept dancing for the back.
So I shoot logs compared to most but I am happy with
the results.

If I understand it right, it really does sound like fletching contacting the rest, especially since that it the thing you just messed with.

Use the powder trick.
