PowWow / Aiming with the arrow point
Last post by buckeyebowhunter - Today at 06:00:39 PM
I shoot instinctively and have no plans to change. I tried gapping years ago and did not like it especially for bowhunting. However recently I've been experimenting with aiming at long ranges (30+ yards). For target shooting purposes and just for fun. I've never been a great instinctive shot past about 25 yards.

That being said when I aim with the arrow tip I miss significantly left. Probably 6 inches or so at 30 yards. I also noticed that if I just pull up as if going to shoot instinctively and then sight down my arrow with one eye my arrow tip is not in line with the intended impact point but several inches to the right. I've never noticed this until aiming at these longer distances.

Do you guys think this is a center shot ordeal or a form issue? I feel like my alignment is solid and arrows are tuned well. I'm also canting the bow, seems worse when vertical. I shoot right handed and I'm right eye dominant.

It really doesn't bother me because I don't shoot at those distances in hunting situations, but it has me curious as to what the problem might be. One last thing my bow is cut to center and I'm shooting with a bear weather rest so the arrow is pointed left quite a bit when just resting.

How heavy? VPA 3blade stainless go to 150 grain = no rust. I find diamond requires a lighter touch to get max sharpness. Otherwise you remove the burr every time you sharpening the opposite side of the bevel.

Man oh man Mike! Beautiful pics! My heart would have been beating out of my chest with an animal that big, that close! And then to decide not to shoot! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

During the NINE LTR hunts, 80% of all critters were killed with VPAs.  :campfire:

Agree with the other fellas. Not normal. Cricket are normally consistent and great heads and great company.

The above poster mirrors my thoughts...either packaged wrong or perhaps you got a Chinese copy on one set.

If you have the Eskmolites (the 110's) the ferrule should be noticibly smaller as it is built for 5/16' adapters.

The normal Eskimo's (I have several dozen still in the original packaging) have a 11/32 ferrule and sold as 125 grains.... will actually weigh 129 grains to 136 grains BEFORE sharpening. Zwickey grounds down the bevels for the user to finish the sharpening process...resulting in the loss of several grains and to allow the heads to be closer to the marketed 125 grains.

I've never seen an Eskimo that wasn't 1 1/8' wide. The Eskimolites are 1 1/16". Again, I'm betting you have both sizes.

The lighter of the two sounds like an Eskilite got packaged wrong though not identical to your findings.
