I need some help. Accuracy question.
I can shoot 2 arrows pretty much touching each other and then the other 2 go flying away from the group. I use the same stance and same type of arrows. I shoot a PSE (Don't even think about it
) Fire-Flite 33. How can I close my group? Thanks

I have the same bow you have, I bought it last summer. I was shooting great with my field points, but then when I put my broad heads on I was having the same problem. I switched to the Muzzy heads and my problem was solved. It might be all in my head, but it worked for me. Enjoy the bow, once you have it shooting better, you will love it.

zack123, Without seeing you shoot it is hard to tell. Some things that you might want to check are your hand grip. Slightly different pressures on different parts of the grip will change the impact point. Check your release and make sure that it is steady with good follow through. If your arrows are spined correctly then I think I would tend to lean more towards inconsistant form. Make sure everything is the same with each shot. Good luck.

RE: I need some help. Accuracy question.
Before I switched to the Muzzy, I would get 2 or 3 arrows in a row that were inside a 1" circle at 20 yards and then the next 2 or 3 would be all over the place. I just couldnt get a good grouping with my old broad heads. When I tried the Muzzy's, I had good groups right away. Like I said, I am no expert by any means, it might be all psychological but like I said in my first post, it seemed to help me. Good Luck!

You have already figured out your problem on another thread that you posted. You will never shoot a good group until you overcome the target panic. Just shoot and have fun.

RE: I need some help. Accuracy question.
If Elkcrazy8 is right and you are suffering from target panic than you need to work on your existing problem first. Don't worry about how your arrows are grouping. Work on aiming and good releases, target panic just doesn't fix its self.
If you are not suffering from target panic than numbering your arrows is a great idea, Also make sure all your arrows are exactly the same, same- size, length, fletching, point weight, nocks, any slight change may result in inconsistence flight. Good luck.
