Wish you where closer I wouldnt mind helping. There are lots of things it can be, I had to twist my strings a little to get the right kick out of my bow. Do you have the bow maxed out when the cams are in time? Do you use a rad or metapeep? Dloop? Got you vanes lined up with the heads?

I use the montecs and they do require a little retuning to shoot accurately.  It is extremely difficult for a Broadhead to perform the same as a field point.  It is simply physics.  Your adding increased drag and sheer forces that will magnify changes from non true flight.  A stiffer arrow may really help you here.  Regardless, expect to retune anytime you go to a different point.

Montechs are a good solid head but nowhere near the sharpest.  How bid is your normal group?

Thanks for all your help, it looks like I've got some more tuning to do.

You can assume nothing by the way they look as if they entered the target. Walk back tune see if the group drifts left/right or up/down and adjust rest based on that.

Boy do I have a lot to learn, holy cow. Maybe this is my next project when I get some money. Get my bow properly tuned and get the correct arrows, lengths, spine on them.

Yeah, I need to get the courage to man up and go down to the archery range that  my girl bought me a membership for a year at "Tacoma Sportsmans Club", Just not sure how everything works down there at the range. Blah, stupid butterflies.

I know it, just not sure how it works. I drove by the other day looking for someone we were supposed to meet 4 hours prior but missed him due to lack of communication, no big deal. Looks cool. When you shoot downrange, and are out of arrows, how does that work? Is it like a gun range and I gotta yell CLEAR or what
