I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me out. Got my boat all dialed and thanks to RAD Archery in South florida. I thought this should be a funny story to some so here goes.
I bought my new bow from a pro shop in Southwest Florida and before I left the shop after buying the bow, he told me it was shooting bullet holes and shooting perfect. Got home and broadheads were going left. Got my own butcher paper and stand and I started shooting and realized it wasn't perfect. Huge nock right. I took it back to him and said it needed shims (Mathews) and he said it doesn't need shims because the tears are not that bad. He proceeded to move my rest over and insane amount. Finally had enough and took it to RAD Archery and he fixed everything including tying a d loop correctly because the guy I took it to first had his own way of tying a d loop. I have zebra cables and a different string because one of the peeps the first guy installed actually cut the bow string somehow so it had to be replaced. Also I found out my arrows were cut two inches longer than they need to be. I could run them only an inch shorter but people here helped me out and ran it through software and 2 inches shorter is best for my draw length draw weight and everything.
Sometimes somebody is very nice and you don't want to believe that they don't know what they're doing but I just want to let anybody new out there double check what's happening to your bow.
I can't wait to get my own bow press that way I can adjust little things and start learning how to work on my own bow. Thanks everybody here for helping. Finally fletched my first 12 arrows cut them to a perfect size. Came out great with the Arizona EZ.
