This weekend I was lowering my bow from my stand when the wind caught it and swung it into a bush. I was concerned that this might have bumped my rest or sights. I so I went home and shot it a few times. It shot fine. Same patterns, arrows touching back to 25 yards
and 1.5" group at 35 yards. I'd like to see this...
As for suggestions, paper tuning is a starting point of tuning, not and END ALL!!! If that bow shoots perfect through paper, but won't get a BH anywhere near your FP's then is it really "TUNED???" I think not, but that's my personal opinion, and that's all it's worth. Just and FYI, that bow ain't that dainty!!! I've dropped mine before, hung it up on stuff and "forced" it through, etc, and it don't hurt them that much!!!! For the low tears, that arrow is climbing when it first leaves the bow, so it should make sense that once you get a little ways from the bow, you'd get low tears....
Don't "OVERTHINK IT!!!"
Well, I don't really know how to prove the groups to you other than to tell you it's the truth. I use pear fishing bobbers and flourescent "yard sale" stickers for targets and my arms and eyes are trained for those ranges. Groups at ranges out to 30 - 35 yards are generally 1.5" to 2.5" depending on how much I've shot that week. Here's a pic of my fishing bobbers.
Next, I didn't say anything about the broadheads not shooting right. They're tuned in and group right with my fielf tips. G5 Strikers are deadly reliable.
Thanks for the advice on arrow climb causing the tears. I have never seen a slow motion film of an arrow in flight shot from a compound so I didn't know it would flex that much. Learn something all the time.
