i break arrows because i am addicted to shooting groups, and every once in a while i forget to move the slide on my sight when i'm practicing. i'm actually a pretty good shot. i like shooting 12 at a time during the offseason. i really like it. i'm hooked on groups. at 50 yds 6 of them will be in the dot i'm shooting and the rest will be close, well except maybe 1 or 2 will be 4 or 5 inches off. 1 may be 8 off right or left. my up and downs are great. i'm learning to make strings and cables now and am constantly shooting them in and dialing everything back in. i have tried to paper tune my bow with a underspined arrow before. oh my, what a headache. that's why i went to the 75/95's. since i got spine right for my setup everything is a lot easier.

now, when i change to broadhead only practice i square my ends and find my best 6 arrows. i tune the bow to my broadheads and don't pick up field pts until after season. i am in the camp of 'i could care less if my field points hit where my broadheads do.' no more groups at that pt. i don't shoot competition, but am thinking of doing some 3d shoots during this season, the fun rounds, for practice.

Len: i never doubt anything you say is from your vast experience and dedication to archery and your customers. as i've said before, i wish your shop was just around the corner. i would be down there picking your brain and bothering you a lot.
