Sorry guys, I did say go the wrong way with the rest...I didn't sleep well last night plus, I'm getting old with the CRS disease...

I have thought about these adjustments for 40 years of bow hunting and no, I can't really explain...

The best I can say is that with every bow and broadhead I have had going back to the 60s then I had to make a few slight adjustments after the initial setup...Look at it this way, the initial setup gets you in the ball park but doesn't take into effect the blades on a broadhead, or your shooting style...Only shooting and tweeking does...

Now...For awhile I just adjusted the sights, problem solved...Not exactly...See, I shoot fingers and could see a little kick when I only adjusted the sights...When I take the time and make these final adjustments, the kick goes away and the groups shrink...I literally watch the arrow hit the target where my pin is...I also see the arrow spin in flight...It's like you are centering the string to the arrow at the time the arrow leaves the string so the arrow has no side to side or up and down stress at the point of release...

So, in my opinion, it's worth the time...Usually you are talking only one or two shooting sessions to make these final adjustments...

Also...I'm one of those guys that goes to shooting broadheads only a month before the season...I shoot 12-15 times a day, one shot at a time...
