Arrows Hitting at Diff Angles...HELP

[JoeDeer]

could anyone tell me why my arrows are hitting my target at different angles...obviously at tuning issue...but where should i start?

 

[JayMc]

What kind of target? Could they be kicking on impact? A bag target will kick arrows all over the place. A block target will kick them left and right pretty bad.

Is this with field points or broadheads?

 

[JoeDeer]

Im shooting a rip cord on a bag target right now...its almost as if i can see the arrow move in flight if i shoot with both eyes open...and field points

 

[JayMc]

If you see some wiggle in flight I'd recommend a paper tune to check it. It might be an optical illusion or it might be real.

Do you use a shop? Shelby Forest Archery should be able to get it straightened out pretty quickly from what I hear about them.

it sounds like your arrow is hitting something when released. If not then the rest/nocking point are off causing the rear of the arrow to kick. The best way to solve the problem is to paper tune and check the results. It will tell you all you need to know.

shoot thru paper so you can see the direction of the tear. could be the rest or center shot alignment, arrow spine incorrect, nock alignment. the tear in the paper will tell you where you need to start.

I had the same problem, I replace my fletchings and it stopped.

If ure shooting a whisker bisquit that b were I'd start

center shot, contact, weak spined arrows,

like was said before paper tune, or walk back to check the center shot.

Do some research on "Walk Back Tuning". Basically you shoot several arrows at the same point of aim and see how they pattern; it will tell you what needs to change and by how much.

I recommend not getting too perfectionist with it. A couple years ago I was trying to make it perfect, and I ended up getting it way more screwwed up than when I started. Now I shoot a few times each week, and try to shoot several arrows at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 yards. My arrows seldom hit more than a couple inches right or left from any distance, and they group tightly, so I don't try to get them any better than that. One distance may be a slightly different angle than another, but all the arrows in each group are parrallel, so it's consistant.

Got it figured out..part of it is the target...
other part was my idler was out of alignment

I don't reckon my bow has in 'idler' haha. Mine is just a regular compound.

all single cam compounds have an idler wheel.
