The arrows are flying leftconstantly I have tried everything from a 1916 to 2117 I shoot a 31 inch arrow at 55# so in theory the 2117 should be right on for me so it's not the arrow spine when everything is flying left which was my first thought. So now I'm thinking it has something to do with the bow not being cut to center or the grip or something I haven't thought of yet

Try a softer shelf material...

If it is way left, use a martin archery rug... It will pull your arrow to the right about 6''..

If you are using leather, go to velcro.. That will bring it to the right also..

Rick Welch taught me this a few years back...

I took the feather rest off and replaced it with a rug rest from bear archery ..... Same results FYI I shoot split witha homemade leather tab and hook the string with the first notch on my finger  never had any issues over the last 12 years doing this till now

The SIDE PLATE or part of teh material that is on the side of the riser, needs to be softer... Doesn't really matter what you use on the shelf where the arrow sits... Put that rug material on the side of the bow where the arrow meets the riser and it'll pull it into the right for you.
