could it simply be that my blazers area "wearing" on the WB bristles (more so than my feathers have done in the past)????? I can't get my head around why it is still shooting good if all the potential problems mentioned are (might be) occuring. the bow is just not "throwing" any stray arrows - so I assume my tune is up to par??
I would have to say "NO". It is not the Blazers wearing the bristles. The arrow has three vanes on it so if it was the vanes causing the wear then there would be three evenly spaced wear patterns 120 degrees apart.
This definitely looks like the nocking point is too low or extremely too high, causing the back end of the arrow to be driven down into the bristles. If the arrow were passing through cleanly then you should not get this kind of wear even after thousands of shots.
