Default arrow flight

cant get hunting arrows to fly staight. hitting on target same spot broke 4 tips and bared 3 arrows but when hitting target they are hitting with feathers left of tip im left handed. tried ajusting rest bow poundage. went completelly through easton bow adjustments and settings ( which did improve field tips by 1 1/2 inches.) but never done a lot for hunting broadhead. tip foc with broad is 15.178 verses field of 11.6. this is at 10yds with lean on arrow not sure want to go to 20 and shoot into garage might miss the block.
never did bare arrow test as had no arrows with no feathers but do now lol

Default arrows

Do you use a mechanical release or finger release? If you release with your fingers, this can sometimes affect your arrow flight as the string rolls off of your fingertips. You may want to try a paper test. This may tell you whether or not you need to adjust your arrow rest from side to side. Take it to one of your local pro shops and they will put a bow square on and may be able to assist you with the fine tuning.

If you go on to you tube, there are lots of good bow tuning segments on there as well

Good luck.
