Title: Started shooting a hill style bow - hitting right
Post by: threeunder on March 01, 2013, 01:23:00 PM
I just picked up a Northern Mist Classic from the classifieds.  My groups are great, but I'm hitting to the right about 4" at 10 yards (obviously more farther out).

I'm a lefty.  Any thoughts?

The specifics are:  NM Classic 52#@28", pulling 27", 30" CE Heritage 150's, 225 gr. point, FF string, BH 7".

This is my first Hill style bow.  Usually shoot R/D longbows.

Thanks
Ken

Ken, your arrows are probably a little stiff. Steve's usually cuts his bows 3/16 from center plus the leather. They dont require a real stiff arrow and carbons you can really pile on the weight.

Just for example..I shoot a Shelton that is 57 at 29 and was playing around with a 30.5" 150 with 250g on the front and it flew excellent.

If you got some heavier points or 50g inserts that will soften them up a little more. Or if you can get a hold of a Heritage 90 to try.

Thanks Eric,

I've got quite the assortment of tip weights...LOL...not that I'm carbon friendly, just "wood challenged"...

I'll try 250 and 300 this evening.
