Default Arrows Grouping horizontally?

It's seems that my arrowsare grouping in a horizontal line. Is there some type of tuning problem with my bow, or is this just bad shooting on my part?I know that if your groups are grouping in a vertical line, it can be fixed by moving your nocking point higher. But I'm clueless here.

(This group was shot from 30 yards.)

Looking at your target, everybody should have your problem.

There is a sticky on the technical page that TFOX was kind enough to put up for us that addresses this problem specifically.... I think its titled "Don't Stop at Walkback Tuning." Something to that effect. He uses much the same method as I do, and it works really really well. It may well just be that its shooter error... but read his post and follow his lead and you'll know for sure.

I think those groups are perfect, first off all your outside and a little bit of wind can do that, second of all its probly just you being off the mark a little, but the group is great.

That is a great group. My shots are similar to that also and im really happy with how im shooting.

Abar is right, wind can mess with your shooting ALOT. If you are rally getting picky go to a indoor target shoot and practice there.

I'll read TFOX's post and give it another try.

Thanks for the compliments!

Looks like to me you don't want to tear up arrows--Like you may be pulling the shot at the last second JMO.
Good group though--It'll kill!!
