Arrow flight problem
I have a brand new Hoyt MT Sport that I have been shooting for a few weeks. I seem to have poor arrow flight but on a very inconsistent basis. I usually shoot 3 arrows then retrieve them and shoot 3 again. Sometimes all 3 will shoot straight and hard and into the target, but occasionally I will get an arrow that seems to 'fishtail' and not penetrate very much. It is never the same arrow as I have kept track of that. Could it be my grip is different or nock point or something. I am shooting 2315 Easton XX78 arrows with 100 grain field tips. I have a 29" draw and shoot 66lbs. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: Arrow flight problem
I would say it is a form problem also.You might not be putting your hand on the bow grip in the same place each time???You could also be trying to peek at the arrow while it's in flight,thus making you have bad follow through.
Just a couple guesses I see happen alot.

RE: Arrow flight problem
Try shooting with an open grip. This will teach you not to torque your bow as bad. Make sure you come to the exact anchor point every time. Hold your form after you shoot and keep you sights on the target for a few seconds. After a while it will come on instinct.

RE: Arrow flight problem
Thanks everyone. I assumed it was me. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't something with the bow, which I didn't expect, as I would think it would happen every time. I used to shoot with a kisser button and didn't have one added to this bow. I figure I have several months to fix this problem and get confident with my new bow.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
