RE: WTF!!!!!
It's an unusual occurrence.....but it's still a good "equal miss". I don't mean anything bad by that. I've done it twice.....but never hit a mid-bullseye....then epeated THAT feat. I've missed in the exact same spot on two different occasions (actually 4...if you think about it).
How is thatnot exactly what happened?I'm not poking fun at the poster. I've done the same thing.

Early in,
I posted this 2 or 3 weeks ago, but was responding to the "equal miss" quip. I immediately switched to shooting 3 shots at 2 smaller 3" bullseyes and have only had one fletch get damaged. I think the right hits were technique or form related, as it is tuned and will hit middle if I do my part.

RE: WTF!!!!!
TFox,
Thanks, I think it was an anchor problem. I've been working on a consistent release length and anchor point and I am not having any big problems other than just lacking practice and skill. Yesterday, at 25 yards, on first try got 6 out of 6 on the two 3" marks. It just takes time with us amateurs. Of course, my next 6, well . . . I was distracted.
If I'm having general shooting woes and not improving, I will PM you.
GMMAT,
If my feelings were hurt by the "equal miss" comment I might need therapy.
(Now AtlasMan calling my new bow obsolete, that kind of got my goat.) I do think it is kind of funny to brag about a "robin hood" that is off the mark by 3"! I really don't want to get any more of them. If I hear a strange noise or clack on the target, I do not get excited.
