Thats the plan, sell it so someone else can shoot it  :chuckle:, on a serious note so far just broadheads as that is all i have been shooting for the last 6wks... I will say my fieldpoints and broadheads never hit the same spot on target.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

first thing i always do for people when they arent shooting right and not sure why, is i shoot there bow for them, through paper and check tuning, then i shoot 30 yards and see if im shooting way better then them. that way i know its not the bow and its them. or if i get the same results as them then i start tweaking the bow. so i would recommend if you know a crack shot near by have them fling a few arrows with your bow and see if they have the same or better results. note your looking for a good group doesnt mater where they hit. then take the next step fixing you or the bow. or maybe both.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Okay, that helps.  Sounds like a tuning issue to me.  Start with your broadhead/arrow combo and then tune your bow for broadheads.

What bow?  How does the string look where it goes through the cable slide?  Stock string?  Did the problems start at about the same time the weather got hot?

You didn't let DoubleJ touch it, did you?  Never mind.  I guess it's only sharp things you have to keep him clear of :chuckle:

I will be looking for your PM tomorrow.  You can send it down here and I can fix 'er up.  Or you can take it to Gary at Riverside, Mt. Vernon.  I'm quite confident in his work.

If your close to Enumclaw give denton a call at Rock Creek archery he has a new shop near the hospital and does great work . I respect your integrity to stop flinging arrows till you get it straitend out .
