I have been working towards a pretty major hunting trip and felt my shooting was coming along well, then around a week ago it all started falling apart!
I went from getting what were quite tight groups for me to being lucky to having something that could even be called a group!
Started shooting tonight after work and once again arrows were not going where I wanted. I was having trouble even hitting my Rinehart 18:1 target let alone grouping :(
Literally halfway through a quiver of arrows I remembered a post on here about shooting the arrow rather than the target. Eureka! I realized that is what I was doing, concentrating on the arrow not on what I wanted to hit. A bit of a change of focus and the arrows were once again flying right.
This is the group right after I realized what I was doing wrong. Each arrow shot from a different distance somewhere between 16 and 22 yards
My GF pointed out I started having trouble when I began putting a couple of broadheads into the mix. I think that made me more aware of the arrow and ruined my shooting. There are two broadheads in that group, shot first so I don't cut up my arrows
I don't remember who posted the thread that helped me but thanks, and thanks to all those who contribute. You help more than you realize
