Default Now what?

After owning my bow for 3 months i finally had an oppertunity to have it chronoed and did a paper check.Boy was I surprised!!!

27 inch draw lenght @ 62 pounds 5 shot average was 262 Fps. then went to the paper. 5 yards out shots 2 out of 3 bullet holes 10 yards 3/3 bullet holes must of been my shooting form?

So my question is now what is next. not to knowledgeable on the tuning end so I dont wanna tinker to much. Grouping diffrence between B heads and F points is about 2 inchs low on B heads. So I just moved sight bar to adjust for the 2 inchs. All all b heads zero'd for 20 30 and 40 yards.

Never did do a paper check on the B heads as pro shop range does not allow b heads at range

Love a plan when it all comes together!!

One of the most important things to learn about tuning a bow is when to leave well enough alone.[8D]

I couldn't agree more. We all have standards that we go by when judging accuracy. I would be more than pleased with the accuracy you are obtaining with your current setup.

If you are getting that kind of speed out with your draw length and draw weight and shooting that consistant, stop trying to improve. Don't worry about your broadheads being sighted in, you have time to do that just before you hunt. It's all about being consistant!
