why my arrows flies so strange

[inksoup]

hi guys...

my arrows are making a circular motions when i shoot them.
back of arrows (feather side) are making this. after a while goes straight.
i do not know why they are doing this?

bows are 40 - 50#

Assuming your form and release is good, it's likely a combination of incorrect arrow spine(fishtailing left/right) and relative limb strength discrepancies (porpoising up/down).

You should be able to correct it with arrow spine adjustments and adjusting tiller by altering nock point height or weakening the appropriate limb.

Are you sure all of your feathers from the same wing, right or left?

What are your arrows made from? Are they doweled(store bought) shafts or cane or shoots you have collected?
 Lay your un-fletched feathers together to see if they are all the same. It doesn't matter if hey are right wing or left wing but they must be the same for each arrow. I have a set of cane arrows with half left wing and half right wing and they all fly the same. If you mix wings on the same arrow they will fly screwy.
