Title: How could it change?
Post by: jamed on February 21, 2010, 01:16:00 PM
Well after shooting a bit yesterday with what looked to be near perfect arrow flight, I go out today and see ALL arrows making their way to the target tail right.  At 20+/- yrds they are grouping fine, but I can clearly see the arrows coming off the bow and from 5 or so yards after clearing the riser make the entire trip to target "sideways".  :confused:  ????  

Here is the setup:

Dale Dye 62" 52@28. I pull 28".
Shafts G/T 55/75. 31" throat to BOP.  100gr insert and 145 gr tips.

Yesterday looked like bullets.  Same back tension and feel no change in release?

Any help is appreciated

Rusty

What was the light conditions yesterday? Brace height the same?

Try again could be you and your grip or your release.

Check brace height...maybe your string stretched some if you just finished tuning.

Here's the update:  Brace height had changed to 7.5.  Took it back up to 7.75.  Shooting high wrist grip. (no pressure other than web of hand) with first 2 fingers touching belly of bow.  

The changed in brace cleared it up a bit to almost not noticable in flight but can still tell that impact in target is a little off.  May try increase in brace to 8" and see.

Is this a stiff reading?

Thanks again guys.  Always a ton of help from the gang!!

Frank, I think you might be on to something also.  Really sunny yesterday (which could have caused me to miss the flight issue), and very overcast today.  

Tells me I'm not as tuned as I thought.
