I doubt the arrows are "worn out". Probably what has happened is some string/cable creep which can change the tune of the bow. Consider that this happens slowly, over time, and you might not notice it.

For one, if this is a hunting rig I wouldn't get all hepped up over holes in paper. Try tuning for broadheads as per the Easton Tuning Guide and see what happens.

You can't just "have" your bow tuned, if you mean you took it to a shop and paid them to do it. Your grip is probably different from that of the guy who did it and that can make a big difference in how the bow shoots. So, unless you did the shooting and they did the adjustments, the best they did was get it close. It's up to you to do the fine tuning to make it right. Other than wanting to make that point, I agree with BGfisher.

i just tried this i looked at the guide got my bow out and shot three arrows with field points one was almost dead on one was high one was high and to the right, then for the heck of it i tried with broad heads one low one high and i didnt try the other arrow with the BH. so i am thinkin that i should wait till i get my new arrows because the arrows i have been into fences stuck in logs and beat up pretty hard, so i should get new arrows at the end of the week and then i will try it again.

i see your point but that was done still in the summer and it is fall and now i have just seen a difference so i doubt the grip is the problem and i was shooting just last week with out a problem until now.

Arrows don't last forever... especially when they've been plowing into fences and logs and such. Bit of a difference between 'worn out' and 'beat up.' Waiting for your new arrows is a good plan.

LOL!!! You bow is not tuned. Even a poorly tuned bow will shoot FP acurately. However, once you screw on some broadheads, thats not the case.
