    Tonight I took the bow outside to start shooting. Once I got some shots in I started to notice that all of the arrows were missing to the left. I thought it was me so I took a 10 minute break then went outside and it continued to miss left. After inspecting everything, I noticed some black streaks on my fletchings from where it was hitting the rest. Since my nocks are fixed into the FMJs, I could only rotate them to one other position which didn't work.

    My question is... what could be causing this? Am I getting contact due to my nocking point being to low/high? The bow has been shooting fine until today so I am not sure what has changed since yesterday.

    I just had the same problem. My new FMJ's all had a smudge on 1 fletching. I was hitting left with my broadheads. I moved my rest to the right and used a new arrow. I have shot that arrow a good bit and no smudge yet!

    The two bottom fletchings have streaks of black from making contact. I think it's a timing issue or something. Probably taking it to the shop tonight.
