Default Tuning my new bow

Been shooting my new bow, Fred Bear TRX (36" ATA length) with Tru Fire rope style caliper release...

Sighted it in with 2 pins, 20 & 30 yards and when I do my part it is plenty accurate...

The thing is, most of the time, the arrow flies true and hits where I aim, but one and a while, (it is never the same arrow, so I know it is me) I get one that seems to wobble (a little but) but still hits where I aim...

So I know I am close, and the bow shoots real well, I just dont know what I should do... I mean, I am shooting 3 shot groups at right around 3" at 30 yards so it is plenty accurate for deer

opinions? Also, what is the most accurate expandable broadhead?

Providing your arrows are right and your bow is tuned well, I would work on your form. And possibly your release. Not the equipment, but the way you release the arrow. Try some blind bail shooting.

While your groups are decent, they could be better with some practice.

Take a look at Eastons tunning guide if you haven't already. Tons of good info there.

Good luck,
Paul

I've had this problem early in the season ,but now as I've been shooting all year up to now the wobble has dissappeared ,so I'd agree to working the problem out through your form.

I agree with the others. It sounds like you may just a slight error in your form. Every once in a while when I'm at a 3-D shoot all day, I will experience the same once I get tired.

Sounds like every once in a while You're holding the string too tight to your face, JMHO. Watch your form, and make sure you do it the same way every time. Hope this helps. Be safe.
