Increased draw weight to max at 60 lbs thought I could handle it. Went to check bow using paper tuning. Shot from about 10 with fletched arrow and field point and this is what I ended up with twice with same arrow. I couldn't get a good picture of it, so used paint and redrew it. edit: I think it's tear left, but the angle is what I'm unsure of.

There are problems with both the vertical and horizontal flight of the arrow in this case. Assuming that you have correctly spined arrows (meaning: based on your cam/wheel type, draw length and draw weight, and point weight, they should shoot well from your bow), adjustments need to be made to your nocking point first, then to your arrow rest. It appears as if your nocking point is to low.
It's not one, it's two. Tail low and Tail left. Pick one and fix that first, so that you are left with a | or --- tear. Then go after that. Also look here ----> http://www.papertuning.com/ or here ---> http://www.archery.org.au/lib/pdf/papertuning.pdf
Let me know what helps you the most, i've been doing some paper tuning lately and i get the sam tear as your getting.
Of course, none of papertuning works unless you are first and foremost sure there is no rest contact from the arrow... Always fix the verticle plane first then go after the horizontal. In this case you would raise the nocking point or lower the rest (has the same effect). Then you would move the rest in toward the riser (though this one can be weird because sometimes you have to do the opposite depending on what is causing the issue; if it gets worse, go the other way.) Best of luck. If you start to pull your hair out just set the bow down and walk away for a while. If the problem is hand torque or bad form, you're likely not going to get rid of that left tear...
Step 1: Remove QAD Ultra Rest Step 2: Throw QAD Ultra Rest into trash Step 3: Whisker Biscuit Install LOL. I've had nothing but problems with the ultra rest.
If the DW has been increased then either he didn't have the correct spine before or he doesn't have the correct spine now. And since it was increased and the paper is telling him that either his arrow is acting weak or his rest is not centered that it very well may be the former. If he just moves the rest it may not fix the real problem of the arrow acting weak. You can't just adjust your DW and expect nothing else to change if you know what I mean. Was it shooting bullet holes before? If so, I would guess it is the arrow spine and not the rest. Edit: Also the tear downward is your nock point. No doubt about that.
Which tells us it wasn't shooting bullet holes before. I've never seen weakened spine cause a nock low tear.
It was shooting bullet holes before. The only thing I did was increase the draw weight, unless something got moved or bumped and I didn't know about it. I went from approx 50 draw weight to limbs maxed out. It maybe over 60 lbs. I don't know.
Gotta agree. Something is fishy. I would drop your DW back down to the original and then shoot paper again. If it shoots bullet holes with the lower DW then bottom tear is likely form and the left tear would be caused by at least the spine but also form could attribute to it as well. If you are shooting bullet holes you can't make a significant adjustment to your DW and expect your bow to still be in tune. As you increase your DW your arrow is going to act weaker. To offset the increased DW you will need to either reduce your head weight, shorten your arrow or get a stiffer arrow (or a combination of all three). It should be noted that the best way to do this is to pick the head weight you want to use, pick the approximate DW you want to use, select the arrow length you want to use and then buy the correct spined arrow for that set-up. Then you will need to adjust the DW/arrow length to fine tune the bow.
Thanks everyone for helping me out. I'm sorry, but lost my temper with the QAD rest. I've already pulled it off my bow and installed the biscuit. I'll report back. The only reason I changed to the QAD rest was that I thought I wanted to shoot FOBs. Thanks again for everyone's help. I'll get 'er straighten out.
Last week a Aion Level friend of mine sent me a story from a local newspaper quoted a Aion Gold number of bloggers complaining about receiving letters she requested from Treasury $ 300 for WOW Gold of doing business in the city of brotherly love. "The real kick in the butt," says Marilyn Bess, who she Buy WOW Gold only about 50 $ of WOW Leveling its environmental blog, MS Philly Organic made claims in recent years,
