Default RE: I feel like giving up bowhunting

First thing I would do is have someone who knows bows look at your setup and make sure it is tuned correctly...........then have them watch you shoot and see if they pick up on anything. If you shoot a release then finger issues shouldn't be a problem but you could be anchoring randomly without even knowing. I have a 3 spot anchor that I go through on every shot to be sure I am always lined up as close to the same way as possible each time I shoot. You might be surprised to find out that you may be "peaking" at your shots because the random flight is in your brain and you are worried about it..........you could also be doing something totally weird that only someone else may spot. My buddy was ALL messed up last year and I watched him shoot for a little while and realized he was touching the string to his nose in a different spot on almost every shot..........once he regained his anchor process he was all set.

If everything else checks out (including arrow spine) then by all means just change broadheads and see what happens. If you put on another good fixed head and they fly great then just go with them and don't worry about the Thunderheads...........maybe just the mental switch will be enough.

I shoot Magnus Stingers and they fly like darts and kill everything I shoot them at............give them a try.


What do your arrows look like when they fly?? You should have perfectly straight laser beam flight..........that is what I tune for. Any wobble, fishtail, corkscrew, or some combo of all of them means your arrows are coming off that bow offline...........get them shooting straight as an arrow (pun intended) and they will hit in the same spot.



Good Luck.
