Why are my arrows all shooting .....

sprintflyer · 09-04-2002, 07:22 PM

perfect height but all over the place right and left.

I just put a Whisker Biscuit on my bow and it is shooting bullet holes at 3-5 yards.

I shoot fingers and xx78's 2213 27' 60# draw High Country Ultra Pro Series Solo (Matthews) cam.
One shot is right three inches, the next is left four!

Season opens in a few weeks and I am about to have a fit!

Anyone have a clue to this problem?

The pro shop is not an option as there is only one in this area and when they get stumped they call ME!

Try a release, the whisker biscuits design is not conducive to finger shooting. You can not get a perfect release with fingers,only a consistent one. the string rolling off you fingers "pushes" the nock towards your face, with the biscuit your fletches are slapping it sideways causing the errattic side to side groups.IMO<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks Trap,
But I am getting bullet holes and I let a buddy shoot it tonight (release shooter) with the same results.

My only hope is I'm just tired and makeing somthing out of nothing.

I am going to shoot some tomorow and see what happens!

My wife says I am "eat up" with want-a-new-bow-itis and she just may be right!

Possibly to long of draw length.

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

Just talked to a guy on another forum with a very similar setup.

Basically, a 27" 2213 is right at the top end of it's spine range at 60 pounds with a hard cam or single cam. It tunes great with a field point, but a broadhead typically needs a little stiffer arrow. Going to a 2215 would only add 24 grains to your arrow weight (-5 fps or so) but is a lot better match to your setup.

Also, you'd likely do better with shooting fingers by going to a rest that's more fingers shooting friendly like the GKF Star Hunter, NAP Centerrest flipper, Bodoodle Timberdoodle...

call me goofy but it sounds to me like "bow torque". check your grip maybe a couple days off without practicing might help. also sounds like you "shot" yourself into this problem. shooting more will make it worse.

hunt on 25 days to go but whos counting

I agree with chef I had the same problem until i bought the no peep peep sight that thing is wonderful.

Rack-attack · 09-05-2002, 09:05 AM

I agree, inconsistant lefts and rights are almost always due to bow torque.

Arthur P · 09-05-2002, 09:15 AM

Okay, chef. You're goofy.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Anyway, besides that, you could be right. Bow torque could very well be part of the problem. But, like I said above, I suspect the arrow rest and underspined arrows are the main culprits.
