Hello, I've been a member here for a little while and mostly just read post and try and learn but I have a question about my groups. I recently got a new to me Widow from BOWNAERO on here, PMAX kingwood 47# @ 28, shooting 2013 with 125g tips.
I have been shooting split finger for several years, I noticed that I have good accuracy at 10 and 15 yards but past that they tend to fall off out to about 20-22 yards, (now for the weird part). Out at 25 and alittle past my groups and accuracy is good again. Any ideas? it is the same way with my gamemaster to. Also I started playing with 3 under and it seems like I see the target and arrow more naturally but my groups aren't quite as good but I figure it will take some commitment and time before the accuracy comes, but the samething happens at that 18-22 yard mark, any help would be appreciated.
At 25-28 yards I have a tough spot, too. And although I can miss pretty spectacularly out past that, it seems like 32 yards is a sweet spot for me. I start at 5 yards and shoot one arrow every 5 yards and that 25 yard stop gets me every time. All I can figure is that I've just shot four tight confident arrows, I clutch, then I'm relaxed again.
Dont that just bust your butt!!
It sure is amazing what a few extra yards make. :dunno:
I just shot my "new" Kodiak in back yard. Without adjusting I shot about a 4" grouping at 15 yards. HOWEVER! I shot 3" high and 3" to the left.
Facts: Kodiak 55#, 2217 arrow,feathers, 125-175 grain field points, shooting off of a Weather Rest. 175s went a little farther right but not good enough. I read here in Pow Wow, that recurves tend to shoot a wee bit left anyway....but do I need to shoot a lesser spined arrow? Is that my first adjustment. My form is (seems to be) fine. Good anchor, etc. had this been in the 10 ring, I would still be screaming Hallelujah! Instead, I am screaming....CRAP!
Hey Mike ,are you shooting in your backyard?

Yep, whatca thinking?
I am thinking that the ground may not be level.For example in my backyard the further away I am going from the target I am going uphill.Unconciously I used to aim a few inches higher the further away I was going while I didn't really need to since the ground was allready putting me higher than the target.
Your right it does go uphill away from the target, I'll see if I can get a little more even spot and shoot there for a while and see if it helps, thanks for the tip.
