    Post a video of you shooting. Do some different angles, front, back, left side, and right side. Then we'll be able to figure out what's wrong. It might be your form or something else.

    That would really help. Hard to tell without seeing what is going on.

    I am shooting almost the same setup. I have plenty of clearance. Best to have another set of eyes look at it in these situations! Maybe there is something wrong with your roller guard/guide assuming you have the rest on center line.

    Is it possible there are 2 many twists in cables that's pulling it inward? It has an eBay string on it that previous owner put on. Think I'm gonna try putting the stock on back on that's never been used. I believe that's my problem. Thanks anyway

    To many twists shouldn't cause and problems like that.

    Try getting the strings changed out first. Chances are that the stringa are stretched. Can you take a pic of you rig from different angles? As well as measure yhe brace height, ata and look into the timing window.

    String is dead nuts in the timing window. A2a is perfect on both sides. String is a pro line. I'm just gonna go back to the stock string it brand new. If problem is still there I'll keep shooting odd vane at 1 o'clock. Its been a lot better since I quit gripping when I shoot. Probly my bad form

    Try standing on one foot and shooting it.

    If that does not work visit an authorized Mathews dealer for assistance.

    I think some of those heliums had a defect where the tolerances were off and they ended up shorting the carbon rod to fix the probelm. And some of the heliums had crooked drilled holes where the carbon rod went into the bow and the roller guard angled toward the rest more than it was suppose to and cause fletching contact. Alot of people just cocked there vanes to fix the contact problem, Might want to try to get ahold of the original owner and see if he can take it to a pro shop to get it looked at ,If not you will be responsible for the costs of fixing it if it is the bow.

    I'm willing to bet a bare shaft/yoke tune would cure the issues your having...
