I think you are all probably correct. I woke up this morning and decided I would check out the grip and stuff. I found that when I don't leave the bottom three fingers off the grip I was probably torquing the bow. I thought my arrows were a little underspined to start with. So I change my fieldpoint and cranked down the draw weight just a bit, they were flying nicely. My new arrows will be here tomorrow...stiffer spine and I will see how it goes from there. Thanks for the help.

Just forget the paper and do what I do to get my rest tuned. I set up a target at 20 yards and one at 40 yards. I sight in roughly at 20 yards. Once that is set I shoot a three arrow group at the 20 yard target, then without making any adjustments I shot a three arrow group at 40 yards. Here's a little diagram of what to do. Hope it helps.

IMO, that illustration shows a far simpler, far BETTER, way of establishing perfect centershot than paper tuning. Of course, the drawback for a lot of folks is that it demands the ability to shoot decent groups at 40 yards.

Same thing but from 1 distance. 1 group horizontal, 1 verticle. Make adjustments til they are as close to inline as possible for your skill level.
