Scared the crap out of me!!!

During archery season,I practice in the mornings a couple of mornings a week.Got up yesterday morning and was trying out a new broadhead for my nephew to see how they fly.I shot the Rage low kinetic energy practice head at 30 yards and hit 3 inches right and 2 inches low.I shot it a couple of more times,all arrows hitting in the same place right and low.I am thinking well these heads are not shooting to the same point of impact as my field tips.I took the head I have used for years (Rocket Steel heads) shot it and I am hitting exactly where the Rage practice head were hitting.I am like what the hell is going on! I screw in a field tip and shoot that and I hit exactly where the Rage and Steel head are hitting.
After I analyze all the variables of what had happened from the last time I shot ( a few days prior) the only thing that had happened is that I had waxed my bow string and cables.I ran out of the venom and used the traditional string wax and had rubbed it in very well with my fingers but it most definitely influenced point of impact.
The vemon is so much more slippery and leaves the string and cables smoother.(not a commercial just an observation) I never would have guessed in a million years that would have happened! I ended up having to make a sight adjustment.
The Rage and the Steel Heads and field points all hit to the same point of impact.The change in point of impact had me pretty freaked out!
All is good now.

 

that is wild...to change your poi that much.

 

Not being critical but I can't believe that it was the string wax. I'm thinking there is something else amiss...

 

I hear you Rob,I wouldn't have expected that either but a few days prior I was shooting softball sized groups at 60 yards and the only variable that changed was waxing the string and cables.

 

i was thinking the same thing..does waxing affect your accuracy?

 

Tell me about it.....

 

Wow, food for thought. I would think taking a few shots and losing the xs wax should bring things back to normal. I mean we all keep our strings waxed I hope.

 

Just by new strings more often I guess!

 

I found out this past week, that **** can change over night. Not sure whats wrong with yours but my serving moved on me causing me to hit low.

 

Weight to the string and increased amounts or decreased amounts of friction through your cable slide.
