Thats good and bad.   Good for the arrow flight but bad on the feathers.  Looks like you are ready,   Good job

Group is such a strong word, I usually just try for a loose gathering within the confines of my yard!  :D   Great shooting.

Just trim the OTHER two feathers to the same height.  The way you have things dialed in and tuned, it won't be a problem!  It's like finding a free arrow!!

PS- I prefer to carefully "space" my groups when shooting so such dreadful things don't happen... and my silly buddies think I'm just lousy.  Little do they know!

It's not just broadheads. I have Robin Hooded three woodies and a 2016 in the last three weeks (at least with the aluminum one I can just replace the nock)! I hate Robin Hoods, but I can't seem to stop myself from wanting to shoot groups. It's an addiction. :banghead:
I still launch a flier once in a while, so I can't seem to convince myself that I am ready with this new bow (recurves are not as forgiving of string torque as longbows!).
