Why are my arrows all shooting .....
 
perfect height but all over the place right and left.

I just put a Whisker Biscuit on my bow and it is shooting bullet holes at 3-5 yards.

I shoot fingers and xx78's 2213 27' 60# draw High Country Ultra Pro Series Solo (Matthews) cam.
One shot is right three inches, the next is left four!

Season opens in a few weeks and I am about to have a fit!

Anyone have a clue to this problem?

The pro shop is not an option as there is only one in this area and when they get stumped they call ME!

Try a release, the whisker biscuits design is not conducive to finger shooting. You can not get a perfect release with fingers,only a consistent one. the string rolling off you fingers &quot;pushes&quot; the nock towards your face, with the biscuit your fletches are slapping it sideways causing the errattic side to side groups.IMO<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks Trap,
But I am getting bullet holes and I let a buddy shoot it tonight (release shooter) with the same results.

My only hope is I'm just tired and makeing somthing out of nothing.

I am going to shoot some tomorow and see what happens!

My wife says I am &quot;eat up&quot; with want-a-new-bow-itis and she just may be right!

Possibly to long of draw length.

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

Just talked to a guy on another forum with a very similar setup.

Basically, a 27&quot; 2213 is right at the top end of it's spine range at 60 pounds with a hard cam or single cam. It tunes great with a field point, but a broadhead typically needs a little stiffer arrow. Going to a 2215 would only add 24 grains to your arrow weight (-5 fps or so) but is a lot better match to your setup.

Also, you'd likely do better with shooting fingers by going to a rest that's more fingers shooting friendly like the GKF Star Hunter, NAP Centerrest flipper, Bodoodle Timberdoodle...

call me goofy but it sounds to me like &quot;bow torque&quot;. check your grip maybe a couple days off without practicing might help. also sounds like you &quot;shot&quot; yourself into this problem. shooting more will make it worse.

hunt on 25 days to go but whos counting

I agree with chef I had the same problem until i bought the no peep peep sight that thing is wonderful.

I agree, inconsistant lefts and rights are almost always due to bow torque.

Okay, chef. You're goofy.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Anyway, besides that, you could be right. Bow torque could very well be part of the problem. But, like I said above, I suspect the arrow rest and underspined arrows are the main culprits.
