But, like I posted, every 4th to 5th shot I had a very small dot left on the cable from the side vane making contact leaving lip stick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I must have missed this. Have you eliminated this vane contact, that would be first on my list.

What configuration are your vanes in relation to your rest, cock vane up or cock vane out?

It has occurred during the first 9-10 shots 2 days in a row and I've shot Several more times afterwards. Shot 2 more sessions after it happened today and it didn't happen again.

But, like I posted, every 4th to 5th shot I had a very small dot left on the cable from the side vane making contact leaving lip stick. It was a different arrow when it would happened. I only shoot three at a time then go pull.

On several of my Mathews I've owned, My right vane will hit the cable if my cock vain is pointed straight up or down so I align my cock vain so it's not quite straight up. This though wouldn't cause you to hit 3ft high at 30 yards if your shooting field points. I'm no expert but I just can't imagine something wrong with the bow that would cause a arrow every once in a great while to hit 3ft high at 30 yards. Now 3ft low I could see it be a bow problem.

Shoot the lipstick arrows until you get one that flies off, then check for tracks.

I would bet the rest isn't getting out of the way on the fliers.

Three feet is a lot, if it were form I think you would know, the shot would feel very bad (like a huge flinch or a creep).

Is it random or near the end of shooting?

It could be tune, but it would be odd; however, it could be more than one thing happening to cause the fliers.

Shoot a couple of 300 rounds for score, take a picture of each end, let me see what they look like.

Have you ever seen a QAD rest though cause a arrow to shoot 3ft high at 30 yards from fletching contact or not dropping away because I've been shooting a QAD drop away rest ever since they came out with them and have never seen anything close to it causing a arrow tipped with a field tip to fly 3ft high and I've done some testing with fletching contact and the rest not dropping. Now if he is shooting broadheads then I could see it but then he should have a lot of bad flying arrows. If it's not caused by shooter error then I'm completely stumped but sure would like to know why because I like learning new things.

Fletching hitting a cable or rest generally equals left, right or down... not up.

What kind of release are you shooting?

[EliteDriver]

Form, Rest or Arrow....

Sent you a pm. Also, the vanes don't seem to be making contact every time... which I'm confused about. So I don't know... lol

Sight loose or floating anchor or arrow knocked outside of loop ?
3' @ 30 yards ain't fletching contact.

This will be due to torque and torque is based on the grip.

Sometimes you grip the bow where there is more torque introduced into the riser, these are the times the vane hits the cable.

Sight is solid, anchor solid and consistent under my ear with tip of nose on string, knock in the loop every time. I just shot 10 groups of 3 at 20 yards. Worse shot was 6 inches off that I pushed from fatigue at the end. Most shots in a 2 - 2 1/2 inch group with several stacked together.
