Could it be the target?

I'm trying to set up a new lefty Kanati bow,(58#s @ 29 inches) I bought a Beeman MFX test kit,to try. Heres the problem,no matter which shaft or what point weight,I try the arrows are always tailing slightly to the right. I'm shooting into one of those cheap Buckmasters targets. Would that be giving me a wrong read on how the arrows are hitting the target. I fletched the same arrows using fletch tape to see if the same thing happens and sure enough all the arrows are slightly tail right. Am I over looking something?  Thanks for your help --1Longbow

Can you set up a piece of paper about six feet from you and shoot through it to see a tear.Make it with 2-poles and tape a big sheet of paper 2'x2'.This will tell you if it is the target or the bow or the arrow.

difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem.

I would try to watch the shaft in flight. If it's tailing right or left as it flies first.

Jer - i do paper tuning too though.

Yes, with my bag target the arrows are tail left but if I shoot my broadhead target they are straight.

Not familiar with the target but

if compressed sheets like block rotate the target so they run up and down not sideways
