Default Arrow Flight Problems<< HELP PLEASE

Hey guys I am new to this site, this is my first post and I really could use some help,,, I have a REFLEX Bighorn Single Cam Bow... It is set on 75 lb's pull, I bought a Carbon Whisker Biscuit the Drop tine one. I am shooting Gold Tip Graphite arrows, When I shoot the bow is pretty accurate all the way out to 45 or so yards but the problem is the arrow does not fly true, it has sort of tail waggle some times it hit the target straight and sometimes crooked. I don't know if this is a alignment problem or what. just wondering if someone one know something. thx...

There are many things that it can be.

1 - is bow tune. Nock position, centershot must be set up correctly - go to Eastons site and download their tunning guide. The cam must also must be in time. Strings stretch, cables stretch, this can cause things to get out of whack.

2 - Form - the shooter is just as responsible for arrow flight as the bow. Use a relaxed grip - do not torque the riser, flinch, jump, or grab the bow.

3 - Arrow spine - you need to have the correct spine and length arrow for your setup.

Welcome -

Rack attack hit the bullseye. Any of those will do it. I know not everyone likes to, but I like to paper tune my bow.

The bisquit made for aluminum arrows works alot better for carbon arrows than the one made for carbon arrows.
