Bareshafting PSE Sequoia 50#

[Blackhat]

Was shooting last night at my Walmart target (burlap bag with walmart plastic bags inside),  with fletched and unfletched Easton XX75 Gamegetter 500's, the arrows are 30" with 125 grain field tips.  shooting from the 15  yard  mark.  I would nail the target center with one bare shaft and the next would take a detour about 3 yards from the target.  On these I did get a string slap.  Am I torquing the string?  I'm sure the fault is mine I just can't figure it out.  Any suggestions.

You are likely toquring the bow.  Take a loose grip Not a death grip on the bow, and give that a try.  Let the contour of the grip sit in the web of your hand, and keep your fingers from touching the back of the bow. I assume your shooting a Recurve.......

No, it's a 68" longbow reflex/deflex.

How tight do the nocks fit on your string?  I know those nocks fit most strings far too tight, and that in itself will cause all kinds of flight problems.  You may want to give the 3-D Super Nock a try if your's are too tight.  I just reserve my strings to get proper nock fit.  This were I would start.  Also, check your brace height.....  I would start at 6.5" and go up from there till you get better results.  Let me know how it goes......

I haven't been able to shoot for a couple of days.  Went from a 3 finger shooting glove back to a finger tab.  groups improved at 10 yards.  The bare shafts hit near the spot while the fletched arrows hit more to the right but mostly on a horozintal plane.

"The bare shafts hit near the spot while the fletched arrows hit more to the right"

The fletched arrows are going closer to where "you" are pointing them so that's a form issue. The fact the bare shafts are averaging further to the left of the fletched arrows is a stiff condition. Go up in point weight a couple steps. You won't know what the correct point weight is until the bare shafts start grouping right of the fletched shafts......O.L.

Thanks!  I'll try that today.
