Guys! Help! I got my first new bow and its kicking me ass. I only have 2 arrows that fly straight enough to make a 30 yard shot with broadheads. With field points I'm able to shoot 3" groups at 60 fairly easily.
I'm having some flight issues. Heres my setup:
Mathews v3 31
75lb 80% C mod turned down to 65lbs
the draw is supposed to be 29.5, but I think it's closer to 29.75
Vaportrail Pro V rest
GT Hunter XT 300 27.725" carbon to carbon
9.3 gpi
24gr lighted nocks
5" wrap
4 AAE Max 23 Plastifletch @ 3 degree right offset
150gr Cutthroat SB Right
I am also trying out all the 100gr heads I have: Stingers, NAP Spitfire, Steelforce 2 blade
SO, TWO of my 6 remaining arrows (refletching 3 tonight, broke the other 3) fly straight with the Cuttthroats and the other for are corkscrewing out of the bow and the POI is 6" off at 20 yards. If I rotate the nock, the bad POI rotates with it. The flight is so bad, that when i have a lighted nock in I can see the arrow corkscrew on its way to the target. It's a LARGE loop
With the other heads, I have 2 more arrows that work-ish out to 30. groups are bigger than id like, but I can confidently take a 30 yard shot (if i sight in for the lighter heads)
I tried rest tuning to get the FP and BH to group together, but I don't have enough room to move the rest because the cable guard is in the way. I'm very new to bow/arrow tuning so any suggestions on paths to start down would be awesome. I have a Mathews Tophat set coming, but don't have a press. A friend of mine that works in a bow shop is going to figure out what portable press I should get.
Unfortunately, I blew all my money on the bow setup and buying all new arrows would bum me out big time. Could it be that only 2 of my arrows are straight? Any DIY arrow spinning tips? Are the spines inconsistent?
It's crunch time -- just found a 5-7 year old whitetail buck on public land, and I'd really like to be able to take a 40 yard shot at him if he gives me an opportunity.
