i shoot an acadian tree stick 53#@28 shooting gold tips 3555 with 190 up front when i shoot i notice my arrow kicking right when i shoot canted .thats bare shaft and with feathers .but when i hold the bow straight up and down they flly straight whats the deal with that im right handed the arrrows are 28 1/2 do i need to put more weight in the front .say a 200 grain point.

maybe not twisting your hand to match the Cant? Twisting the string then.

Im really not familiar with carbon arrows as Ive been perfectly happy with wood with my longbows.It sounds as if they are a little weak in spine and maybe a lighter head will help.190gr is alot of weight.Ive shot 125 gr up to 60lbs fine. perhaps someone else will chime in here.

When you say kicking right,do you mean a bareshaft will hit right of your point of aim with the nock a little left?If so they are weak.
I too think they may be a little weak with 190 up front.Try a lighter head or a heavier spine or trim a little if possible.Try a lighter head first.

They aren't kicking right, I don't think. What you are seeing is the vertical component of the flight when you cant the bow. In other words, with the bow canted, the arrow comes off the shelf slightly nock-high, but this appears to be nock right with a canted bow. That's why you need to bareshaft with the bow pretty well straight up and down. I think Morrison recommends this on his website. However, I can't believe those arrows aren't underspined at that weight with that much up front. Paul.
