Arrow flight path question

[Andrew]

Hello all, fairly new bowhunter looking for insight from some veterans...

I went out to shoot my bow for the first time in awhile and resight in. After a couple tweaks, me and the bow seemed to be on and I was shooting pretty tight groups at 20,30,40yds. I'm really pleased with my groups, but while trying to watch the flight path of my arrows I noticed that the back ends of the arrows seem to kick out to the right during their flight then come back straight before hitting the target.

Is this typical or abnormal? It certainly doesn't seem to be affecting the accuracy but I wonder if because of this I might be losing some kinetic energy and therefore penetration in a hunting situation.

I appreciate any insight, cheers and happy hunting!

Center shot might be off slightly or maybe a small amount of fletching contact, all I can think of unless your arrow is underspined for your set up

Could be one of or all these. Have you paper tuned and walk back tuned?

Put a fixed blade broad head on and see what that kick does, definitely something up if you can see a field tip equipped arrow kicking coming out of the bow.
