Default RE: Curious! Techies please reply.

I've owned eight bows over the last seven years, and with ALL of them my Muzzys flew 4" left and 2" lower than FPs at 40 yards. Moving the rest up and right didn't help, plus the groups got larger. This leads me to conclude that the "move the rest" theory doesn't always work, i.e., something happens AFTER the arrow leaves the bow (similar to knuckleballing?) that you can't control by tinkering with the bow itself. Now I just move the sight a little.

I've always used a strong right helical fletch. I'm going to borrow a left hand fletch clamp, build a few arrows, and test my theory by seeing if the BHs now fly to the right of the FPs. Anybody tried this?
