Bow Season opens the 10th here. Unfortunately the recurve I was using last year has a failing limb. I have a cheap one that was a mess but after some tuning supplied by my limited experience I managed to correct a major issue. Here was the flight shortly after release. And here it is after changing the arrow rest. No sights but best I can tell it is pretty good on the left and right, maybe just a tad left. Is there some way to correct that or is it something I will have to anticipate when taking the shot.

Veins or feathers on that rest? Vanes were still giving me a problem with the tail flying higher than the tip even after the arrow rest change so feathers it is.

You must have a good camera. Nice pictures. I have slow motion footage that I grabbed those pictures from. I would post the video but when I upload it to a host it plays back in normal speed.

Shoot it through paper at 10 feet. The shape of the hole made by the arrow passing through the paper will tell you what is wrong with your rest and or nocking point.
This also a few pics of the arrow in a soft target.

You shooting from the bow shelf? Or off elevated rest? Vanes wont work of the shelf. They kick up. If you're right handed and the tail kicks left your under spined, use a lighter point or lower brace height a tad.

If your shooting veins over the wrong rest that is common try feathers that might do the trick. If your shooting off of mole skin or a shelf I’d about guarantee it. Even on some arrow rests the veins sit different to clear the rest.

First off it needs to be feathers off the shelf. Otherwise youll never get consistency. I doubt those are the correct arrows for the bow. No offense. So how do you get the right arrow? How to Choose Arrows for Your BowThe use of a modern phone with slow mo video over and above you will tell you alot. Paper can also suffice. 10’ away level and square to your bow shelf Start with the arrow you want to use, but preferably long. Start with your nock 5/8” high. Shoot until you have a flat nock indication out of the bow. If your nock is flying right looking at your back, at the target thats good. That means your spine is weak. Start to shorten your arrow until your nock leaves good holes in paper or good flight out of the bow via video. After this you can bare shaft and shoot broadheads and see if they all group together. Times a tickin…..
