Default Arrow dog legs

Right handed shooter for some reason on a lot of my shots it looks like the back end of the arrow is dog leging to the left. Anyone know why?

Could be a couple different things, I'd start by getting paper tuned, might be a torque issue, very well could be your arrow spine,

When you go out to further distances does your arrow walk left and right? What are your specs? Draw weight, draw length, arrow type/spine/length, tip weight?

Are you getting fletch contact on your cables?

Is it just your target? I have had a few bag targets that made me think my bow was pushing arrows.

62lbs, 26 inch Eston 500 arrows, 100 grain field tips, shooting into a hay bale, I will have to check out the angle of the arrow in the target, it is not walking back and forth, but I can notice the angle as it is in flight.

paper tune first for sure. Is that a .500 spine? Believe that's too soft for your set up. Should be .400. IMO

Easton power flight 500's cut down to 26 in, 7.3 grains per in, spin span deflection is .500 per inch.

I agree ...the weak spine is most likely the issue...I would also recommend the .400
