Guest coop2564 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Since you can group at times its probably not the bow itself. Check arrow rest it may be loose and changing positons. Check string serving were nock is at and make sure its not loose or slipping. Are you a new shooter? If so could be your grip most bows are fussy about how they are shot changing grips or not having delvoped a consistant grip can cause problems. Do you have a peep sight if not make sure you achor your release hand in same place on your face every shot. If your a new shooter find a proshop and have them check everything out. Most will be glad to help. I supect your rest is the most likey suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tyshe17 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Re: can someone help me? the main thing that will throw me off is if I am dropping my bow arm on a particualr day. I try and stay on target until the arrow hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Re: can someone help me? had somewhat of a similar problem with my new hoyt and it turned out to be "string stretch" because the bow was new. check that out and you may have to change your rest a little.

buckee Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Re: can someone help me? I've had days like that, that is just bad form or rushing my shots. If you shooting dead on sometimes and not others, I suspect it's you and not the bow. Don't rush ito it. Relax and pretend that target is a real deer. Practice your breathing.

Guest coop2564 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Re: can someone help me? Whisker bisquits are not good for long range shooting especially with broadheads. Try another rest and I think your problem will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Re: can someone help me? You can overdue practice, if your arms get tired, and you keep on shooting, you will lose concentration. This will affect eveything. I know, been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntr104 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Re: can someone help me? Just like anything else. You could of had a bad day of shooting. I find that if I'm shooting great one day and not the next, and I look over my bow to make sure nothing loosened up. Pack it up and try again tomorrow.

CDubWSR Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Re: can someone help me? somebody above said that wisker biscuit's are bad for long range shooting..... i will promise you that statement is not true. i shoot a wisker biscuit and i practicce alot out to 50 yards with no problems from it. the only thing is you have to have good form and follow through b/c your arrow stays in contact with the rest from tip to tail. so any movement in your bow arm before the arrow has completely left is going to make your shots go all over the place.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree!!!!! I have a wisker biskit on my Switchback and shoot out to 70 yards with practice tips and 60 with broadheads. I keep a 10 inch group at 70 and an 8 inch at 60. I also agree with some of the others, it is probably you and not your bow. I usually have that trouble when I start getting tired, so I just move up to 20 and quit on a good group, this helps to keep my confidence level high so I don't start second guessing my setup or abilities. That's my 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Your statement is why the WB is not as good for long range shooting as a drop away, the arrow is in contact with the rest the intire lenth of the launch any torque will cause a worst shot than a drop away and thats just a fact. I'm not saying the rest is not a good hunting rest it has a lot of features that are a plus for hunting. But if your shooting at a animal say from a tree and nervous and have some wrist torque or shaking going on, your shot will not be as accurate as the same shot from a drop away it cant because of the longer arrow contact. If you can shoot perfect form in hunting situations every shot then it has the potenial to be as accurate minus a few feet per second. Its a Good hunting rest but by its nature can not be as acurate as a drop away with both bows tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDubWSR Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Re: can someone help me? i was just making sure that reflexhunter didnt run out and spend more of his hard earned money on something that he doesnt necessarily need. from the sounds of it, the problem isnt anything that cant be solved by better form, probably caused by fatigue. i will not argue that a wisker biscuit is more accurate or more forgiving than a drop away b/c i know that is not true at all, but i do know that it is a very good rest. it just requires proper form to shoot correctly like alot of bows do. i just felt it necessary for me to say something b/c the first post in which you mentioned the wisker biscuit you said that it was "not good for long range shooting". i know that it is perfectly capable of shooting well at long ranges so i thought i should say something so reflexhunter didnt loose confidence in his setup, because we all know we shoot better with confidence. and for the record coop i agree with you about the drop away, i just dont shoot one b/c i almost strictly hunt, and knowing my arrow cant fall off the rest at the moment of truth gives me even more confidence in myself and my setup. and no bad blood or anything like that was meant towards you at all in this. just trying to help.
