Default Im off the 70lb train...

Ive been shooting 70lbs for oh... 'bout a month now. I liked it... still like it. I was shooting Bowtech Ally, 70lbs @ 28" with a 350grn arrow. I loved the speed and punch, when it knocked my morrell bag over.

But, my groups were suffering with field tips at any yardage, I dont feel it was me, I feel it might be the arrow, poundage combination. But I'm leaving that one open. I tied on some Bh's today just to see... and wow, I was all over the place... granted it was spitting rain, shouldnt matter, I couldnt hit crap...

So I backed my limbs out 2 full turns. I have no idea what poundage that dropped me too, but wow it felt great, and my arrows were touching again at 20 yards. I havent tried the bh's yet but I feel a whole lot more confident with my field tips hitting good again.
