Default Nothing definitive yet

Well, took the bow out this weekend to see if I can tell what's up.

Forgot my Sharpie for marking arrows...so I just winged it by separating any error that flew high.

Attempted to check creep tune. Held draw as hard against wall as I could and didn't get a lot of movement. I had a couple that shot slightly low of the normal point of impact...but I can't determine whether it was actually a matter for "creep tuning" or if I just was working so hard at pulling against the wall that I jiggled my aim.

As I progressed, I seemed to find two arrows that could fly high. They didn't always do it.

I tried spinning them slightly to avoid my HHA drop-away rest (but so you know, I really don't think I've got fletch contact anywhere). When spun, sometimes the jump would go away...but again, I'm not sure I jiggled the aim.

I didn't seem to notice this time so much of the front sight deal where I could see the top of the sight. It's always there...and the view never seemed to change much...so that might have been a red herring.

On draw, I'm not noticing a double bump from an extremely out of tune bow. I can barely perceive that I seem to "feel" the top cam giving a firm stop when I come to full draw...something I don't think I feel from the bottom. Not sure if this is out of time or not. Cams appear to be in sync when at rest.

At this point, I think I'll refletch the fliers with some arrows that have their vanes gone, and then retest. (and number the darn things). If the problem goes with the arrows...I'll just watch it. But if it spreads to other arrows, I'll head back to the shop again to talk to them about it.
