Shooting a Browning Nomad I, 56#@28, my actual draw length is 27 1/2". Now, the arrows aren't exactly perfect for the bow--Carbon Express Rebel Lite 6075, full length, 125 gr. field point.
They seem to be hitting square enough, but it is a consistent 3 inches high and 4 inches right at only 5 yards. I had this exact same problem last year while trying out a Reflex bow at Cabelas.
What in the world am I doing to screw up?
-
Those arrows are way too stiff,they have a .342 spine.For carbons I would check out a .500 spine carbon.How long are those arrows?
-
I thought spine would only effect how the arrow struck the target? It would throw off the grouping as well?
-
Woops, forgot to add I'm right handed. My bad.
-
High & left would indicate too stiff for a righty if you cant your bow. Nocking point could be too low.
-
Add some point weight to weaken the shaft. I use 2315 arrows full length with 200 grains up front. They shoot well out of my 56# recurve and 53# longbow.
Use Stew Millers Excel arrow chart to help determine the appropriate arrow for your bow. It is very accurate and works great.
Shoot fletched and bare shaft arrows to determine if the spine is correct. Both should have the same point of impact. This should be based on average groups not individual arrows. This takes into account variability in your shooting ability. If both group togeather your spine is correct.
Hope this helps.
