Default ?Arrow Spine?

would the wrong arrow spine make your shot up to two feet off at 20 yards! im using a 400 spine right now but since i had got i new bow (mamba m7) i cant shoot a three arrow group at a foot so i was wondering if the shaft woule make it shoot that different? i think if so i need to get a 340 spine arrow.

It probably could check that your fletching is clear cables rest etc. maybe try paper tuning it there could be problems else where that paper tuning could make more apparent

What's your draw wieght, length of arrow, how many grain tip are you using.

I shoot a Viper V7 at 70lbs, 30" arrow, 125grain tip and had to go from a 340 to a 300. Try pulling them suckers out of a target. Can't wait see what it does to an animal.

They should work for you. Have you tried paper tuning, walk back or bare shaft tuning. Arrow rest square. Proper clearance with fletching. I could go on and on. Be to go see the dealer you bought it from.

Maybe cams are out of tune. After 100 shots your sopposed to check for cam lean, and proper timing. I know my v7 was out of wack.

I have got the bow shooting better now shooting five arrows at the target and can shot a 3" group with 3 arrows and the about 2 feet up illl group 2 other arrows side by side. You ll shoot the five arrows and you wont shoot three in the bullseye and the 2 two feet high they are out of order one will be in the bullseye the next will be the two feet high. so i was wondering what is going on? ive been trying to figure it out but i cant so please reply if you can help.

Are punching the trigger, maybe you have target panic?

Maybe your torquing your bow? Or dont anchor to the same point every shot?
I know I started to hold my bow different with just the flesh of my thumb and when at full draw I bend my elbow out a bit so im not hyper extending my arm and it brought my arrows from being all over at 20 yards to shooting 3 arrows touching each other.

You may already know those tips, if not try it! Also check the tuning of your bow like everyone else said, may not be your arrow. Or if you shoot with a d-loop maybe its too high when compared to your rest or too low I know the guy at cabelas checked that for me and brought me back to shooting good groups.

There really ease to tune, I dont even use a press or the pin to adjust cam lean. And thats the glory of an APA. And if you learn how to do it you get a better understanding of your bow. And gives you more confidents.

if after you re tune your bow it could possably be your arrows. mark them and see if you have the same ones hitting off or poor shots with the same its time for new ones. the other idea is try rotating your fletching on said arrows and re test. just my two sense

Get the bow tuned, if it still happens it could be inconsistent arrows, mark them 1-5 to check if its the same arrows going off.

I also have this problem every spring. For me its grabbing the bow on release instead of just letting it shoot with a loose grip and proper follow through. Goes away with a couple weeks of practice and a lot of focus on form.
