Try numbering you arrows and see if it is the same few arrows that are flying astray. Or purchase an arrow spin tester to check if your arrows are straight. Good luck!!!

RE: i will be shooting good groups but something is wrong
It could be a bunch of things........from form, to equipment, to something as stupid as 3 arrows that have the wrong field points?
A good start would be to eliminate the arrow theory by numbering them (a small number in the corner of a vane) That way if #' s 4 and 7 always hit low you can suspect the arrow.
Start there, but it actually sounds like a form problem........maybe an inconsistent anchor point, dropping the bow arm etc.

you can make a spin tester out of a shoe box.
Just cut a v in each end place the arrow in the v and spin them.
As to the cost well that all depends on what brand of shoe you buy[

yes, kinda... yes you would be able to see obvious inperfections in the arrow and kinda because it isn' t as percise as a spin tester, it would be hard to see a slight wobble in the shaft. It sure won' t hurt to give it a try though, its free!!
