    When arrow is in flight thing looks all wobble is this normal. Bow is a mathews monster chill set at 52 or 53 lbs arrows are maxima carbon fiber express 250 with 100 gr field tips .blazer fletch . What else am I missing. I have been practicing at 25 yards 3 arrow shots they are within 4 inches of each other pretty consistently. Flyer here and there .

    Make sure you aren't torquing the bow too. What rest are you using ?

    Paper tune and bare shaft tune. If you need any help email Tim Gillingham- [email protected]. He gets back asap and is very nice.

    Thanks went to you tube watched the videos on paper tuning walk back and Brodhead tuning. I really enjoy learning all about new stuff. After watching now I think my rest is off I did the walk back deal last night 10 20 30yards arrows kept getting farther right on target. Thanks again everyone I am sure I will have some more issues . I willprint that Easton guide and get a hold of tim at goldtip

    Also WAYYY over spined. You should be shooting a 400 or 450 spined arrow

    Carbon Express does not label their arrows with the spines. A Maxima 250 has a .417 spine...

    Op, were you able to get your arrow flight fixed?

    I was having kind of the same issue! Went to my local shop and did a paper test to confirm the wobble. Checked the rest and everything was good. Tried a little shorter arrow and went from a 400 spine to 340 and greatly improved my accuracy and the wobble is gone.
