Thanks for the offer Bill but don't worry about it.  Enjoy your night.  It's been going like this for a month or better...gotta be something in my form or release.

I'm gonna play with it a little more tomorrow.  If I'm still having the issue come kzoo we can talk then.  Thanks everyone for the input.

Good luck with it.

Nope on the quiver Benjy but I did try taking it off to see if that had any impact and it did not.  

My bare shaft and fletched arrows are all hitting the target in the same place, which would suggest I'm shooting the right spined arrow, so I'm still leaning toward a form or release issue.

I'm still working with my new Border HEX 6's. What is happening to me seems to be paradoxical...bare shafts with heavy points shoot stiff. With lighter points they shoot straighter. When fletched I get the same results. It's a new phenomenon to me and I need to play with them some more. These new limbs seem to go counter to what I would have thought. I do still need to play with brace height as Sid said I could go as low as 6.5".  I still scratch my head but I'm getting arrows to shoot straight even though the physics doesn't add up for me.
