It'sa Morrel bag target. I tried turning it a little right and left - seemed to not make a difference. The bow is one of the new Fred Bear's - all set up by the local pro shop. My arrows are all spined for a 60 lb. bow. I have been out of archery for quite awhile - now that I am in my mid 50's, a pull of 50 lbs. is a lot more comfortable. I guess I could turn the bow back up to 60 lbs. From what I gather here, one could expect too stiff of an arrow to angle to the right and too soft of an arrow to angle left? Or is there any "rule" that applies to what an incorrectly spined arrow will or won't do?

Too stiff would be left, too soft right. You can't bring a too stiff arrow in far enough to leave the bow straight without contacting the riser.Slightly stiff is not bad IMO. Spine is more important with bows that don't have a cut out riser, still important. The arrow had to bend it's way around it in order to leave the bow with out contact issues. The fletchings would then stabilize the shaft. One reason big fletchings were used and so many for so long were against smaller ones. They just couldn't believe you could use a smaller one. Cut out risers have change that. I would try turning the nocks on the arrow next and see what that does. You really need to learn to set the bow up yourself. Stores that set a bow up right are few and far. I doubt you were in one, I could be and would love to be wrong.

What kind of arrows are they? I've got a few different kinds around thatI use to figure things out. I don't think it's you. If it was they wouldn't consistently be doing something, they'd be all over.

Easton tuneing chart is a great start , In allmost all situations the farter downrange an arrow gets the straighter its flight , unless outside like you said you are shooting , when shooting a large fletch in the WIND , the stroner the more angle . There are many variables , this might just be the one that got you on this particular day . Being overspined as you say you are is usealy not that bad , you can try a heaver tip and if it corects the issue you may have the answer , Ill bet thats not it .
