Thanks PD, that's what I want to hear. I know at my level of shooting(poor) I shouldn't be concerning myself but if I'm going to make an arrow it might as well be a good one.
That's a good way to look at it DC. If you make a good arrow then that takes one thing out of the mix. But now you can't blame the arrow for missing.
I'm deadly at 5 yards but watch out at 20.
I find there is a sweet spot on the riser where the arrow wants to be positioned. I recently marked that said spot on a bow I'm finishing up. When I shot it off my knuckle I was dead on. So I built up the handle and added a shelf with some thick leather. I noticed the shelf was about an eighth inch higher than I wanted. So I shot it a few times and the flight was terrible till I rasped it down till my arrow laid on my mark. Then it finally started shooting like it should. Just my 2cents, Patrick
