Greetings.....
I recently posted about a problem I was having with groups - or rather poor groups. I thought at the time it was down to my release and there is some truth in that since I can usually tell when a shot goes somewhere that I didn't intend. Just a few days ago I started to investigate further and found that the arm on my arrow rest was sticking out too far as the adjustment mechanism had fallen off. When I fixed this things got better but I could only try one round because it came on to rain.
Yesterday at the club things were just as variable. I was getting groups the size of a large dinner plate. Somebody the other week suggested it might be my arrows but I couldn't pin it down to anyone or more in particular. So I tried a new set of arrows and immediately the groups improved. First round 3 in the X ring and the other three slightly further out. Then it rained and we had to pack up so I couldn't continue with the test.
The question is - do arrows 'go off'? These are inexpensive Easton Inspire Carbon and I've used the same 6 or 8 for about a year.
