Arrow Sway
#2
There' s a problem somehwere most likely (torque)
but (this will sound crazy, but I $hi& you not) sometimes if you are shooting an arrow where all three vanes/feathers are not the same color, And you shoot with one eye closed it can give you the illusion the arrow is whipping out a tad as you open your non aiming eye at the shot. I once spent a whole day tring to tune that (percieved) problem out through paper (was getting bulletholes, but I was convinced it was whipping out at some point) and my old boss finally said try 3 fletches the same color. So I did, and he ws right..the illusion went away. The 2 very dark green feathers compared to the one white feather just made it look goofy as the arrow came out of the bow.
But chances are you have a " real" problem somewhere.

Could be torqueing but it could also be that your arrow rest is just a CLICK out... Are you a finger shooter or a release shooter?????I have noticed that with finger shooters the arrow will twist side to side but with a release this should not be...Have a buddy watch to see if you torque the bow when you shoot....I youdo notn I would think your problem may be in the arrowrest... Try it and see....GOOD LUCK....[8D]

If you' re a finger shooter, it could definately be the normal flexing of the arrow. And, if this is the case, don' t worry about it. As long as your broadheads are hitting where you want, and your arrows are grouping, what more could you ask for?

And I will bet my only dollar that Fixed heads Will not group well if you can see your nock kicking out.

That' s why I said what I said. If the broadheads are grouping, then they are flying true. And, if finger shooting, no arrow flies " straight as an arrow" . They flex side to side for several feet after leaving the string.
Arrows shot with a release aid, flex up and down.
