Tweak sights and shoot G5s or change nothing and shoot Rages?

    Well I could be torquing it I suppose but it sure doesn't seem like it. I mean with my field tips I'm grouping great on out to 40 yards. I shot 50 yards yesterday for the first time ever and was grouping 3 arrows in a group about the size of a coaster.

    And getting a new bow isnt an option I guess. Im 21, in college, and I just bought this one back in January for $350 brand new and still in the box.

    I was actually considering buying another 1/2 dozen soon just to have a new 6 for the fall. Do you think I should add an inch to the the length? My dad shoots the same arrows that I do right now so I could just give him my old ones.

    Do a trade, LOL Reflex is a great bow, I am just letting you know, it's going to be a ***** to tune(because of the specs, not the name). I would go the route of rages for sure.

    shoot field tips through paper and snap some pics to show us...not sure about others...I paper tune and then put the BH's on...they should be grouping tight with a consistent grip (no torque).

    Oh...and I really do align my 3 blade muzzy with fletchings...

    I'm not able to shoot right now, but my tear looked just like the B tear. I shot many times just to confirm it and I got the same tear over and over.

    yes Jeff I know this....but I was asking that for a starting point. It would be USELESS to try and tune arrows , BH, FP, or anything else unless the bow is tuned....

    yeh...pretty much make sure he has center shot before anything else. make sure his arrow is at 90 deg on the string.... you don't agree?

    I agree 100% Jeff. I was just trying to see if he even had center shot,,

    Shot a little bit tonight, and even though I'm not so sure this will help you, I decided to snap a couple pics.

    I shot a group of 3 field tips then followed it up w. a Montec. Sure enough, just a couple inches to the left.

    I did notice that the arrows seem to have a bit of an angle to them even though I was shooting straight on at the target. To me they kind of point towards the left side of the target.

    Does the fact that the arrows have a bit of an angle mean anything to you?



    GMMAT:

    I shot a couple of my 125 gr. Muzzys that I found- they hit pretty close to the G5 Montec but maybe just an inch or so LEFT of the Montec.

    G5 to the left of the field tips.

    Slight angle seen in the pic showing the downward angle.

    please make sure you have center shot and that your knocking point is set before you do anything else...after that, let some of these guys know what you plan on shooting...poundage, draw length, arrow length...etc

    There is something wrong with your setup or arrow spine. My guess is setup, have someone use a laser to set your center shot.
