I am new to bowhunting, and have a question. i just bought a used PSE deer hunter. Its got a 27 inch draw, 55lbs and 65% let off, shooting Easton Epic 500s. I got my 10 yd pin sighted in great, then I went home and tried shooting from 20 and 30 but it seems like the arrow isnt flying straight. Is this normal or is something maybe off. It looks like the arrow is sitting level when I knock it. I currently dont have a stabilizer, which is something I need to get, but I wouldnt think that would affect the arrow flight.

Any help is great.

Well what exactly do you mean by the arrow isn't flying straight? if the arrow is veering side to side like a fish swims through water that means your rest is not inline with your string and the center of your riser. if your arrow is porpusing like a dolphin then your nock is either to high or to low. The best advice I would give you is go to your local archery shop and have them check everything for you. Pay attention and ask questions. They will show you the light!

You need to check an arrow chart to be sure that your arrow is spined correctly for your draw length and weight of the tip you are using. If so, look up paper tuning in this forum and give it a go.
