Need some advice....

So i got the Sarrels Blueridge today and proceeded to shoot the heck out of it. I discovered, i cannot get consistant geouping. Yes, all are in the vitals but the arrows are spread out and all over. Ive tried bamboo, cedar and hard maple. The bow is 52 @ 28 but im drawing 30", so roughly 58#. The shafts have ranged in spine from 50-65 (trying different weights to see what works). I am a bit flustered.

Send it to ME! That’ll take away all of your problems with it.
In all seriousness if it’s improperly spined shafts they would all be grouping somewhere wrong but they should be grouping together none the less. It sounds to me like your simply not shooting it consistently and just need to spend some more time with the bow. If it doesn’t work out for you then you may do better with another bow. I’ve tried tons of bows and sold off several that were “worth” more than double what my Sarells Sierra is but in my hands, my Sarells are simply the best shooting bow for me. That doesn’t make them an objectively superior bow to a ton of other options out there, but rather a better bow for me. It may be that you just don’t jive with the Sarells.

I'd say you are underspined. Frankly I'd go at least 70-75. Being underspined your arrows will be unstable coming out of the bow which accounts for the the dispersion of your groups.

My figures say at least 75 lb spine, likely more depending on point weight and depth of cut.

Agree with Charlie. Depending on point weight 65-70 would get you in the wheel house. 70-75 with the heavier points.
