I believe you have aspine issue. Do the bareshaft tuning method and that will tell you. If they are weak add a wrap or decrease point weight. If they are stiff add point weight.

I have posted this many times before but it is a method I have found to be very effective.


Piece of advice.Never move rests way out left and right to get a good tear.Find out why you have the tear.Not having a bow set up to proper center shot will kill your accuracy.

Todd, thanks for throwing up that link again. Believe it or not, I'd never ran across your original thread when you first wrote it... at least not that I can remember. Great post.

TFOX is on the money with this. I have never tried group tuning until I read this post. I now have my BH and FPs hitting together at 40 yards, and I mean stacking them.

I always though my setups were tuned pretty good as BH and FPs would group together but the groups would open up at 40 yards, not any more.

BTW I also think you have a spine issue from how far you have had to move the rest.

Those arrows are too weak.Drop your poundage and I'll bet they tune up fine.I normally shoot 400 spine arrows closer to 60 pounds with similar specs.
