Compound(spits on the ground)

Id say it may not be you, but your arrows.  If they dont match your bow you wont hit where you are looking. Compounds, they are such that you decide nt need to practice and you can group almost perfect every time. Very good at what they are designed as, arrow shooting machines.

DC:
Thanks guys. I have no desire to try a compound. They are amazing machines and I don't tire of watching them at the range but they don't float my boat.
Yes my arrows probably could be better, but so could my bows, my form, what else is there? I was just checking to make sure that I wasn't a total clutz compared to the other guys.

Pat B:
I'd venture to say that most folk's shooting problems are arrow problems. The arrow is the most important part of the bow/arrow combo but most folks want to blame the bow for their bad shooting.

PEARL DRUMS:
Anybody can shoot 2-3" groups with a wheeler in short order. It takes ALOT of work and dedication to cut than in half. Not that a 1" group is any more effective than a 3" group. But if accuracy is something you crave, it matters. I did it back in the day and worked my tail off for a long time to get that good. My bow didn't rest under my bed between seasons.

bowandarrow473:
wheelie bows have pins, that makes it at least a thousand times easier to see where your arrow will hit. I've shot compound and within the first hour could get 3in groups a thirty yards, within my first hour shooting selfbows I managed to hit the target once or twice at 20 yards. So I think compounds are just more accurate due to the fact that they have pins and a realease system that is practicly fool-proof.
