Default Bow problem....I think ,any thoughts

I have the opportunity to hunt past the regular season here in Va so I got my bow out and started shooting.I have a Parker Phoenix 32 set at 65lbs.I am using a WB.My problem is my arrows seem to be doing the hustle en-route to the target.I was using FP and then tried it with my mechanicals and was getting the same results.I am using the same arrows I did in bow season but with the camo added.They are carbon 65-70.Any thoughts would be appreciated on what is my problem and what I am over looking.

Is your WB properly aligned? Have you bumped or moved the WB? I had a similar problem and took it to the local archery shop. The WB was off and they laser adjusted it, which took care of the problem.

IMHO, i hate WB a lot of ppl like them, i prefer to use the troph taker drop away, but your problem seems that your WB must have been knocked around a little bit, take your bow in and get a tune up, and have them take a look at your WB

I just posted a similar question. My bow was sited in perfectly during pre-season when temperature was in the 70s. Last time at the range (25 degrees), I was shooting up and right 6" at 30yds, arrows wobbled. I am not sure if temperature has an effect on alignment or if bow needs alignment.

large temp swings mostly effect string and cables. The wax and the string itself will stiffen and not move as you are use to. This especially shows itself with a peep that rotates as you draw it back. If you have it set to rotate into position, all of a sudden it won't.
