Ice i would try shooting with a release in my opinion,i had no problem with my bow, did you measure your draw length correct, my be you will pick uo the extra slack from shooting with your fingers, iam no pro but see if it works

I used this formula for draw length, is it correct? arm span divided by 2.5 and I got 28.4, and my draw length on my bow is 29.

Yea i never shot with a release in my life. But I think I figured out the problem, my peep sight was actually too low for me, I moved it up and got 5 arrows into a 2in circle at 20 yards, I was satisfied with that.

Wow you didnt have to do anything huh? I got it set at 60lbs, WB, 3 pin sight for 10, 20, and 30 yard shots, got 85gr NAP Thunderheads. My sight wasnt done properly or maybe it was and I just sucked when I first started but otherwise they did everything else just right, I would definatly purchase from them again if I had to.
