All, I'm pretty new to bows. I got a Bear Authority about two months ago and have been shooting roughly everyday. I usually shoot between 4 and 6 arrows before I take the 30 yard trip down to my target. I am shooting really good groups but I always have one arrow (that is when I shoot atleast 4) that is waaaaaay of the mark. Not sure if that is a common thing or not but it is really frustrating. It's not even always the same arrow. Any tips or tricks would be helpful. I am not sure of the exact poundage that I am pulling, it's a 60# and I have it maxed out and am pulling it back 28" with some 100 gr. field tips on red head blackout envy's. -Dave
I used to have this happen too and it was actually my own fault. I was hold my kisser too tight to my face sometimes and it would push my arrow to the right. I thought it was a faulty arrow until I started marking them and found it was never the same arrow so I started to make sure I was doing the same exact thing every time I shot and figured out my problem. Sometimes it's simply human error and if you're still relatively new to bow hunting you might not have that muscle memory quite down to where you're going through the same exact motions every time.
Archery can be like golf. If you could just eliminate that 1 bad shot a hole you would be really good.
It is usually in the same spot. High and to the left. I don't have a kisser. I just place my right index knuckle behinds my ear lobe. It's got to be something the I am doing wrong. Thanks for all the input.
You may be canting the bow a bit, or your sight may not be perfectly level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Are you shooting too quickly? Sometimes when one of your arms gets tired you end up getting sloppy and making a bad shot, at least it's happened to me. Have someone film you and see if you are using different form on that shot. If that's not the case then I would look at the arrows. Is one slightly shorter/longer? Check the fletching and roll the arrow on a flat surface (with the fletching off the side of course) and make sure the arrow shaft is not bowed.
Is it the first or last shot in a string? Or is it anywhere in the order? If it's random, work on calling your shots. If it's you , you will feel that bad shot.
Well guys. I marked my arrows and I have two out of the dozen that I bought that seem to be the culprits.
Wow 2 out of 12... those aren't very good odds. I'd go back to the shop you got them from and see what the can do for you.
