    So I'm trying to perfect my shooting but I am struggling. I am having a hard time consistently hitting inside the bulls eye even at only 20 yards. I feel like at that close I should be perfect every time but I consistently miss an inch or 2 in all directions, I am not noticing any really distinct trends. I know it could be me just making poor shots but am wondering how to diagnose this and really tune myself in. I am currently shooting a Parker Python at about 65lbs, 28" dl, shooting the beman white box arrows. I shoot through a whisker biscuit (but thought that should still be good that close) and my vanes are a little cockeyed- but not tearing.
    I try to be as consistent with my stance, grip, shoulder, anchor, head position and follow through as I can but obviously something isn't lining up.
    anyone have any ideas on the best way to diagnose this?

    When my groups are all over the place it's usually due to me not following through with the shot. Once I fix that my groups tighten up.

    Punching the trigger could be another piece of the puzzle.

    Concentrate on the target while the pin floats over and around it. Then squeeze.

    Ok i shot some today, field tips fly and group money. It's my brodheads not hitting consistently, i know the short answer is Brodhead tune, but does that mean start over from paper tune? I'm so confused

    If there fixed broadheads and each shot is different, try nock tuning the arrows. It could very well your own doing as well.

    Did you spin test each broadhead?
