ok, lemme get out and see some things, first, if I straighten my arm and head, feel like it changes my anchor point, make sense???. With eyes closed, making sure head and arm are straight, peep seems to be in correct position, but sights are ways off. so lemme get out and shoot , lined up again, and then will snap some pics. No I have no plans on hacking my arrows until we get me straightened out. But thanks to yall for your help and I really feel like there has been some progress in the right direction, groups are already more consistent

Your anchor point will change and you'll have to re-sight in. Leave the loop, don't cut your arrows yet. Take some picks, don't aim @ the ground try to aim leave for the pics..also take A pic from behind so I can see your elbow in relation to the arrow.

Ok, now where looking better..you have to incease the dl on the bow to try and get the string back towards your nose. I'd say add 1.5 " to your bows dl.

This one??? feels different, like I am tryin to pull the string farther than it wants to go, and makes me want to lean my head to see through peep, which I think will all be better when I get dl adjusted. Still, shot a group this afternoon, 2nd shot hadta go look, as I could hear the arrows hit. Alot better than it was though. I know exactly when this problem developed, got busy at work and was too tired to shoot for about 2 weeks, and walla all of a sudden I had to move my sights just to hit my target. Am using an old tow behind trailer as a backstop, when I missed 1 arrow went into trailer, only far enuff to break off the field tip, today I missed again, penetration with same field tip was all the way to the last 1/4 inch of the fletching. So to sum it all up, with the help I have gotten here, I have better groups, more consistent groups and better penetration, way more than I would have expected when I asked the first question. I am impressed with the knowledge yall have and even more so with your willingness to share it while still being patient, as well as your ability to share your knowledge in such easy to understand terms that a guy with as little experience as I have can easily understand it. Again thank you |

Vonotto will get you right on  To bad he didn't get to you before me because I think you are going to do very well with this straight arm as opposed to the bent elbow  |

OMG! ... what a transformation!    Just keep that bow hand loose and slightly open.  You never want to grip the bow.  That sling will keep it from dropping or jumping out....promise The arrow is still out there pretty good  could be cut back to the front of the riser. (and would be if it were me) Now....lets see some Pics after a few shots |
