Default This is why we don't shoot groups

So me and pops went to the pro shop this morning to pick up some new arrows for him and to get a couple other things we needed, and we got right to work once we got home to get his bow sighted back in. After I made a couple of adjustments on the left to right, I had him shoot another group to see it was consistent - this is what happened! These arrows had three shots each before this and this was his first Robinhood as well

We both shoot St Epics and our arrow lengths are very close as well, so I had him get those pretty red/oragne blazers instead of the green ones like I shoot.

I use the camo epics with the orange tiger striped vanes. Good arrows.

Congrats to your Pops!!! That first one certainly is something special, funny to hear that sound and walk up to the target and see a LONG arrow!!!!

Exactly. I quit shooting groups back in the 80s for that very reason.

Wow! He missed twice and hit the exact same spot the second time.

J/K I don't even shoot in the same area any more for fear that I will miss twice in the same spot.
