Shooting issues end my season early

[Buckmark]

At the end of last year i started out with a "new" to me setup as my old (see really old) bow was no longer usable, all was going well spring and summer, but the last few weeks something has changed and i can't figure it out. My shots are either spot on or flyers, left, right, outside etc, no ryhme or reason were they will go, I missed 2 deer this year (found both arrows) and tonite was a chip shot but something does not feel right.  So my season ends or is aleast on hold if i can figure out the problem before the late hunt. I am no bow tuning expert so i am stopping before i wound something. I may run over my bow with the truck tommorow..
I am not new to bow hunting or shooting, just fricken frustrated and like i said not the best tuner........just venting i guess...
On a good note, i did see 27 deer in 2 days and 4 (if ya count cubs) bears....and 1 grouse..

After how you helped me out, I can only hope you get this worked out.  You deserve better than that.

Fletching contact maybe?

[grousetracker]

jacket cuff in the way, fletch hitting should leave a black mark on fletch. spray with tinactin.

[Button Nubbs]

target panic maybe? string stretch? maybe your bow got whacked? came out of time?

[WonkyWapiti]

If you are shooting left or right are you putting a death grip on the bow and torquing your shots left or right?  I try and hold my bow basically with the meaty part of my palm and gripping it with my thumb and forefinger and just relaxing my other fingers.  I know my grip used to be the cause of giving me fits in the past when i was shooting all over the place.

Anytime you have any kind of accuracy trouble and everything's tight on the bow and you did not drop it, go back to "Basic Form". That usually where the problems exist.

[Buckmark]

Not a fletching hitting issue, i use a biscut, i agree most likely a grip issue with an anchor point issue, i noticed i was not anchored the same as years past but thought i could compensate, i am sure that is the issue, not a target panic situation sad to say i don't get buck fever anymore, wish i did but after 30yrs it does not happen.
 I used to be able to call my shot, but now i am questioning were i hit the target.
LB agreed i should get a new bow and sell the current, bad juju...
I am not sure i can get a new new bow and be confident with it in 6wks

I second the target panic thought.  Target panic has nothing to do with buck fever.  It comes from mentally trying to time the shot.

Is your draw length too long?

[Buckmark]

I actaully think my draw length is too short, just a tiny bit, i used to anchor at my nose and scrape it ,(the end of my nose would get raw after shooting alot) but now i dont touch my nose with the string, when i went into and asked the bow shop to help set me up, they said it was ok.
I used to shoot grouse easy, now i can not hit a 10 inch paper plate at 20 yds with consistancey

Ya shudda came over today and I would of taken you to get it fixed in Colville or Chewelah. Didn't even think about it until this morning.

[Buckmark]

Barring something incredibly wrong with the bow, I'm thinking target panic.  I'd bet money you're punching the heck out of the release trigger.

Shoot some arrows with your eyes closed and have someone watch you. 

[Buckmark]

Not discounting what your saying JLS, but its the same release i have had for 6yrs and i pressure it like my favorite rifle trigger, it actually surprises me when it breaks as i float the pin,  i did notice, and maybe it was just me but as i was trying to figure it out i was trying to center my peep wth the target and thats not right. It will come together, just frustrating...
I used to take a backup rilfe when i modern hunted, never thought of having a backup bow...
I do appreciate all ideas,and am taking them all in.  Thank you..

[JLS]

Have someone else shoot the bow.  That will help you isolate it or eliminate it as being the cause of the problem.

Is this inaccuracy with field points and broadheads alike, or just broadheads?
