Default Tuning problem?

I shoot a Bowtech stalker and I am having a problem I hope someone can help me out with. I was out shooting the other day and from 25 yards and closer by bow was accurate. However, from thirty yards and farther my arrows ended up all over the target, when they hit it. I'm just not sure what could be causing the problem at only 30 yds. and farther and not any closer. My string is not stretched, so I was wondering if it could be my arrow rest or just my stabilizer, which is a Golden Key Tranquilizer. Its pretty lightweight and my bow seems like it still has a lot of vibration.

WOW! So many things to cover. The impression I get from your post is you need somebody in person to help you. Can you get a local shop to get some of the basics covered. For starters and since you have a computer, try downloading the Easton Arrow Tuning Manual from their web sight. Once you read that about 5 times and still can't get the arrows flying true, then check back here for help if needed.

I also own a Stalker and although it tunes welll for me it does kick like a mule when it goes off. You can FEEL the power leaving your bow and being transferred to the arrow.
I wonder what an STS would do for this bow?

I hope you get'er straightened out.

If your arrows are under-spined they'll present more problems at longer distances. Up close, they may shoot fairly well. Rest adjustment becomes more critical as you move back, also.

I am not familar with this bow. However the problem you discribe sounds like your string has streached and the timeing is off if its a 2 cam bow. There are a lot of other things but from what you said I would try this first. Mike
