Thank you guys. I think I know part of the problem too, I've got my arrow parented to a joint in the bow (animated, as it notches up, and pulls back) and immediately after I let go of the mouse button, I unparent it, and rotate it in the direction the camera is facing. Looks fine when I do the notch/draw back part, then when it let's go ... the arrow flys in some other direction ... sideways. I'll try to keep that info in mind when I get back home from work, and can try to sort it out. Thanks again.
