Bow is at 61lbs, shooting 28.5in draw with 350 black eagle rampage arrows, 28.5 nock valley to end of insert, 100gr tips. Rest is a Hamskea Everest. Had my bow set up from shop when I bought it. They used a laser to set up rest and sight and all. no paper tune or anything. guy has been doing it for 40 years and swears it works up and down. anyway, been shooting it and I hit where i'm aiming out to 40 somewhat consistently but notice my arrows are kicking way to the left most of the time. I play with my grip and sometimes can see perfect arrow flight. anyway, i rigged up some paper and shot at 5-6 ft. wouldn't you know it i have a hard tail right tear. if i torque the shit out of the grip it shoots perfect bullets. but thats putting undue strain on the inside of my wrist and thumb and you clearly see the string is coming off the cams not centered. how it shoots bullets idk. I have a lot of faith in the guy and trust him but just wondering if I should take it back to him to adjust or find someone else?? maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so.

For shits and grins, I lowered my draw length to 28 and still hard right tear. And I truly feel thats too short as I have to either A bend my elbow or B feel like I'm tilting my head way forward.
 
I'm wondering if I shouldn't try a 400 spine arrow before adjusting anything? All the charts suggest I'm on the edge or just into the 350 area being that my draw is 28.5
 
I don't care what anyone says, you cant tune a bow with a laser. It just gives you a starting point. I would be looking hard for vane contact somewhere on the rest or cables. Spray some foot powder on it to see if theres contact or lipstick on the vanes. Also make sure all the vanes are oriented exactly the same on each arrow.
