    I took my Mathews Bow to a dealer and made sure it was turned and everything was good with it before I wrote this.
    I have been shooting 100 grain field poinst at a rate of 40 to 50 times each afternoon after work for the past 4 months. Have destroyed a good bag target. Use to shoot Spitfire but was talked into using Muzzy MX-4 being told that they will shoot true as the field points ( The source I thought could be respected) as he has been a longtime bow hunter and friend who has used several boadhead. Well, for the past 3 days I have continued my 40 to 50 shots, range 20 to 35 yards. I had been shooting 3 to 4 inch 6 arrow groups until this. Those Muzzy heads stay on the target but i am lucky to keep then in the size of a paper plate and a few real flyers. I have taken them off and put them back on to check that to no avail. Put the target points out and went right back to the small groups. I even put some old Spitfire 100's that I had on and shot them and they shoot like the target points. The bow I shoot is an older Mathews Feather Max and I am shooting it at 65 lbs with 28 3/4 in draw. Carbon Express Piledrivers.
    Anyone have any Idea what the problem might be. At this point I am going to look for someone to give the six brand new Muzzys to and get the Spitfire's back. HELP

    From the sounds of it I would suspect a tuning problem but it could also be a form problem and even a combination of the two. How did the dealer tune the bow? Were you there when he tuned it? What's the spine and length of the arrows? The more details you can give, the better.
