Default Frustrating Friday with bow!!!

I just got a new six pack of Gold Tips...same kind Ive been shooting forever. Since I dont need to cut down my arrows I shoot them out of the box. I set up my paper targets on my bales of hay and started at 20 yds with my 20 yd pin...bullseye! Went back to 40 yds with my 40 yrd pin...bullseye. Went to pull arrows out and start another round. Both my 20 and 40 yrd shots were down and to the left.

I dont have a clue what could be up! I had to readjust my pins to get back at the dead center because no matter what I tried it was low and left. Wierdest thing! My vanes are barely affected with shooting into hay...could this be the difference between brand new vanes??????

UGGGGGHHHHH! I cant explain!

Do not follow where the path may lead...go instead where there is no path and blaze a trail!

What kind of rest?

I had a prong come loose on my rest and that was happening.

I have a hostage rest, and I have had a problem in the past with the set screws coming loose, but I have checked them and they are tight. It is something that I just cant figure out, but since sighting in Im back in the circle.

I am serious when I tell you the new arrows were almost 3 inches low and left!

Im refletching my other arrows now. I cant wait until the glue dries and I have a chance to see where they shoot.
