If you ever made a good shot with the bow it is the bow holder for all the bad ones.Kip

It's not to often the bow,once in awhile,but not very often.Alot of problems come from being over bowed.

It's the bow when it torques or twists when you shoot.  Excessive shock may mean the limbs are unbalenced or out of tune.  If the bow unstrings it self while shooting.  If the string does not track centerline of the bow.  If the tips of the strung bow are not centered.  When the nock point is off.  Usually, if it is the equiptment, it is usually the arrow.  It will be too stiff or too weak.  The wrong arrow and a bad nock point will give really bad flight no matter how carefully you shoot.  Bill

Bill said it well.I will only add that some bow designs are more suited to some styles and some bow designs are more stable than others.There are however no bows that will turn a bad shot into a good one.Some will just help a good archer shoot a very small percentage better.

A world class archer can out shoot most of us with his most unstable bow.With his best shooting bow he will just beat us worse.
