Jeff,

After our discussion on our previous post last week I have an update. My bow was tuned early this month, paper tuned, d-loop set at proper knock point, rest set, etc.

After the comments I read on the thread, I have been trying to shoot my Muzzy's (preferreded BH) with the confidence and accuracy from my MBH.

I have actually learned that tuning my arrows was much more productive than trying the multiple points of tuning the bow.

Make sure that your arrows are spined correctly to your DW, DL, arrow tip weight, etc. A simple o-ring, similar to what holds my MBH closed is all it took for me to get my Muzzy's flying good.

One of my issues was that my DW and DL put me on the cusp of a Gold Tip 5575 and a 7595. The 7595 with a better +/- straightness tolerance combined with how I set my inserts so my BH blades were at 12:00, 8:00, and 4:00. With the o-ring on and the BH screwed to the insert with maximum pressure on the o-ring after a touch of super glue on the BH screw my hunting arrows are set, and Im shooting an acceptable grouping with my FBH. I believe now that arrow tuning is just as key as bow tuning.

If you want the BH to go where you want, its most important to get the right spine, weight, and straightness tolerance to even start you in the right direction.

Some obviously will disagree, but at least now I am shooting awesome grouping with my muzzy's...something I couldnt do with my other arrow set.
