Tuned bow up about a month ago and have been shooting every week or so. Took it out the other day and shot it and the thing seemed to be off to the right a little so I waited to touch it as it was getting dark. Today shot it and seems to get really good then really bad without touching the sights. I put three in the bullseye then 2 flyers :confused: Doen't seem to tbe the same arrow over and over either so I am confused. I have been bowhunting for 17 years and never a situation like this one I have a Mathews Q2XL and it is 4 years old. Slight wind today so I don't know if I should wait till its calmer and try again or what but my confidence went from super high to super low in about 20 minutes. I am hoping it was more me than anything but like I said confused any suggtestions on what to try or look at will be appreciated thank you in advance

My guess would be its you doing something different. Are the bullzeyes the first two then the flyers. That could be a result of fatigue. I started to do that early this summer and i started to slow down going from one shot to the next. Worked well when i would take a few steps back, regroup, then shoot the next arrow. I dont know of any equipment issues that would cause that. ???

I've found this very same problem. I dont' necessarily have an issue with any one of a group of three in which order I shoot, but I notice if I take a little more time, I do shoot better also.

I've been going through that same problem for a little over a month now. Most of my problems came from practicing with my fixed blade broadheads because I liked the idea of practicing with what I will be using in the field. I just couldn't get them to fly straight on a consistent basis. I switched to mechanicals therefore my practice sessions are now with field tips and that has helped a lot but mostly I've noticed that my misses are consistent and it's usually due to my anchor point not being the same or me holding the bow to tightly causing it to torque. My suggestion is keep practicing even though it's a pain eventually you will figure it out. This last month for me has been some of the most mentally frustrating practice time I've ever put in but looking back I've learned a tremendous amount about what causes me to miss.
