My wife shoots a Diamond Razor Edge and it's nice and smooth.

This, along with the short axle to axle length will make the bow more apt to move around after the shot.
I would be sure and use a wrist sling and make sure you are not extending or flexing the fingers on your bow hand......relax the hand and allow the bow to sink in a bit and find the sweet spot. A different grip may help as well.....Torqueless or another.

Is it possible your draw length is a little long? I have heard that "jumpy" description used by people who needed to have the draw lenght shortened a little. 1/2 to an inch?
Does it jump after you release or as your releasing. That is a great bow but has a really short axle for a 30" draw. This bow was designed to grow with the archer and at 60#/30" it sounds like you could do with a much larger bow. Having a shorter axle bow means you need great form.

3# bow is pretty dang light. At 30" draw and 60# things are going to jump a bit. But we might be able to manage it with answers to those questions.

Jumping or twisting? Do you notice it after the shot or while it is happening during the shot? Do you have a bow quiver on it? Are you shooting with a bow sling?

To be honest I really like the bow. It shoots insanely fast compared to my older bow. My older bow had an inch longer draw, but I find this to be much more comfortable. I can find my anchor point every single time without thinking with this bow. Would it help to lower the lbs to 55?
I seem to notice it during the shot. Twisting is a better description. I have the stock quiver but will be changing that as it is noisy. I have a bow sling, yes. I did notice that I had it a little loose, so I tightened it up. I do have a tru-glo stabilizer, 4 oz.

55# is not going to make a difference.
Sounds like it is nothing more that a lightweight bow with a heavy quiver attached. There could be some issue with trigger pull from a form standpoint, but I expect that would only effect things a little. Longer heavier stabilizer would probably do wonders. As would getting a lighter quiver that mounts extra close to the bow. Sims Windjammer stabilizer with Balance System mounted on the front or a BeeStinger Pro Hunter would be my suggestions for stabilizers on that light of a bow. Side quiver, two piece quiver or something similar to the Tight Spot would also reduce the twisting.
Cam timing is an occasional issue with those bows since they are a simple two cam system. However, timing issues would give you a Jump rather than a Twist. That's why I asked to clarify that. Does not sound like that is your problem.

I would be feeding you a line of bull pucky if I were to tell you exactly what length and weight you needed. Since I can not see what and how severe the issue is. This is the type of trouble shooting where a good well stocked pro shop is invaluable! Most good shops that carry Bee Stringer will have the components available for you to try on their range. I doubt you will need to go 12" or at the heaviest weight. With a light weight bow a small amount of weight will make a big difference. 8 - 10" should be enough to manage the twisting. Just need to get out and shoot some to see what you like and what gives you the best combination of advantages.
As far as quiver...I wish I had a sure fix for you there. Problem is most quivers these days are high priced garbage. The Tight Spot has a loyal following, but I theorize that has more to do with how bad the others are rather than how good it is. I used the Tight Spot all of last year on my Bear Anarchy and despised it greatly! Problem was, on that bow, it was my best option and there was no better choice. I bet I dropped a grand on quivers trying to find something better and failed to do so. I've begun trading and swapping for older Hoyt two piece quivers. Then spending the time and money to modify them to work with the newer and different brands of bows.
The quiver options are so bad these days we have started dropping some serious change on R&D to develop something new and universal. But that could take years to finalize and get to market.
Hope you get things under control. And since you say you are shooting it well I expect you will!

If you have continued issues try posting up a video of you shooting. There may be other things at play.
