Also check to make sure your not getting fletching contact on your bow or rest.  Look at all your vanes and see if there is marks and tears from hitting something.  Or use the old foot powder trick with spraying them, letting them dry and then shoot them and you'll see real fast if your getting contact. I have to put my top vain at 1 o'clock to miss the riser.

I had issues when I 1st got my Carbon knight.  I would torque it one day and not the next.  Made setting pins a PITA.

So I figured out a way to get consistent (for me) grip every time.  I just make an "ok" sign with my bow hand, tough tip of pointer finger to thumb tip and let the rest stay open.  That stops you from squeezing the grip.  I carried the same grip to my new elite and have not had an issue so far.

     Well I made a couple small adjustments to my rest and really concentrated on my grip, ancor and release and it really helped. Now i just need to reset my pins then i can start shooting broadheads. Thanks again for all the input sometimes you just need a 2nd or 3rd opinion.

You really want to make sure your spine is correct.don't just go off the advertised draw weight, get it measured.I made that mistake with my new bow last year. It was shooting about six pounds less than the 70# rating. Once I found that out I used the correct arrow spine and tuning was easy.
