Thanks James. I do appreciate your input, but I'm not new to archery and have been shooting for about 30 years. I'm certain that my grip is not the problem and that proper shooting form/technique is not something that Ineed to worry about. I've been told by several pro-shop folks that my form is perfect, but more importantly I've killed more than my share of deer and never had a problem. Something has changed in my gear and I'm trying to figure that out. If I can put a group of FPs spot on to where I'm aiming and all of the shafts are touching each other, but then using the same shooting form/technique I shoot my BHs and they are 6" left and in a loose group, I figure it's not me.

NavyDeerHunter,
You need to learn how to properly grip the bow and tune your bow. Its never too late! There is no need to grip it tight! And as far as your "Planing", you need to adjust your rest for left/right and up/down issues. Your planing arrows is taking away KE from your arrow. Your trying to kill an animal, not fling arrows at a target. Get the max out of your set up! By taking the time to properly grip your bow, learn good form and tuning your bow will make you know your set up that much better. Don't be afraid to tinker! Fixed blade B/H Can and Do fly with your field points! You might try a search on proper grips and other tuning issues! Just a thought! Good luck!!!!
