HI All,
So just started up again with my compound after back issues, and for some reason I am getting what looks like fishtailing when shooting long distances. Groups are not bad up to 70 (not gone longer until full strength is back).
New strings before I started back at the club. Re-tuned the bow (dropped poundage to around 50-52#) cams are aligned and no lean, arrow rest reset as looked a little high to start, and thought it may be hitting the body, so that is on the line of the body, and powder tested so it’s not hitting. New d-loop etc. 28.5 draw with ACC 3-39 440 80g point if I remember right.
I have paper shot the bow from 6 and 10 feet, giving holes with no nock tear. Before I tear down a couple of arrows for shaft shooting to see where they fall compared to fletched arrows, any other pointers?
I don’t grip the bow as I use a wrist strap, so don’t think I am doing it with the hand (groups well until tired). One thing I have is that the peep is about 45 degrees to the left as you look at the string, which is corrected with the d-loop when pulling back, could that be an issue?
The arrows land straight when shot at short and long distance, so wonder if it may be my old eyes playing tricks.
Any and all responses welcome.
Cheers
