Default RE: Upset with 82nd...

ORIGINAL: Washington Hunter

You guys are right, through my frustration I didn't even consider my arrows. I assumed, being in the low to middle of the 55/75 range I would be stiff, rather than weak. I didn't take into account the cam design of this bow. With that being said, I'll see what I can do about coming up with some differen't arrows.

I did not have any 125 grain field points or broadheads here at home to try out, either. With all the money I've put into this upcoming trip, I'm about broke so that portion of the experiment may have to wait. I might have one laying around somewhere that I'll try to dig up, but we'll see.

I don't know, as much as I enjoy the technical aspect of archery, this is almost too much of a headache. Y'all know I've praised this bow since I bought it. Its hands down one of the most accurate bows I've shot. Because of that, the issues I'm having now are extremely frustrating for me. As Mobow mentioned, I'm not the novice to tuning that I was two years ago, but I'm definitely not a guru here, hence my posting. I appreciate all the help, guys.

I work until eight tonight, but I'll try and snag a couple different range arrows we have at work (CX 250's and 350's.). I'll try and shoot them before work tomorrow to see what happens.
Before changing arrows, why not try turning down the draw weight to, say, 56 and see what happens. If the arrows are shooting weak that may clear up the problem right there. No real reason the bow has to be at max DW is there?
