Default Making progress... My bow fits me now!!!

When I bought my Martin Phantom Magnum, it was set at 27", but uses modules for DL adjustment from 25-30". After calling around I found A shop here in Houston that carries Martin and happened to have a spare set of draw modules for my bow! So now set at 29.5", IT FITS!!! I bought 4 new arrows(31" long stick out 3.5-4" past the WB)thinking that my old ones wouldn't work that they'd be too short, but since I'm using a WB they're just barely long enough. I may try to refletch them with feathers(since I shot off the blazers and generally prefer feathers anyways) and try them and see if I can pick up some fps from the shorter arrows. Also, the new arrows have vanes and they're starting to get really wavy...

Also had a shurzapeep and kisser button installed. Now I'm shooting a consistant 2" sometimes 3" group at 20 yds. I guess it's enough for deer hunting, but I still want better. The arrows look like they're flying true, but I still need to paper and bare-shaft tune the bow. All in all, I still suspect that it's my form that is the limiting factor. I group fairly well, but the groups are never in the same place. 1 group will be 2" high and 3" left, the next 2" low and 3" right and vice-a-versa, etc etc.... This reeks of inconsistant form from group to group. Am I right?
