RE: bow tuning
I dropped my bow out of a tree last year and it took me until last week to get it shooting right. I did wait until about two months ago to start messing with it though. New house, four kids, yadie, yadie, ya…
My bow was tuned, first by me, then by a “pro”, then by another “pro” and finally by me again. Two things that really helped out, setting the poundage up to the top and getting good consistent groups with field tips. Are you shooting field tips well? The fletchings or feathers will correct a field tip rather quickly, but a fixed broad head is like having fletchings on the front of the arrow. Normally, however it is hitting the target is how it is coming out of the bow. I used about six different broad heads after I was shooting really good with the field tips. The muzzy 100 1” shot the most consistent, but a little off to the left. Moved my biscuit to the right 1/16” and it was right on the money. I also used an expandable broad head, which was the NAP scorpion XT (I think it was an XT?) and it shot well, but after a few shots in the target you have to replace all the hardware that holds the blades against the tip while in flight, which sucks. I shot two muzzys about three hundred times and never lost a blade and still managed to cut myself! I ordered some slick tricks, which I’m going to try out also (got to love their warranty), but will most likely wait to use them next year.
Good luck,
