Pins and their placement (achery question)

[qhergt]

Ok, so I went into the back yard and shot some arrows... shot a 400 spined Beeman ICS camohunter 26" 9.1gpi with a 100g field point. An easton powerflight 340 29" with 100g field point and the same arrow with a 100g slick trick. I shot all 3 using my top pin (10y point pin, 20y bh pin) I did this 4 times with pretty much the same results. This was shot from approx 20 yards again using my top pin. Top arrow is the BH. The outer ring is 4.5" in diameter. As you can see the field point on the easton arrow is shooting approx 2.5" low of the BH when both are shot using the top pin at 20y






heres a photo of my sight





I have some new custom string and cable set on order from "worlds best string" where on the island would be the best place to take my bow in to have the set changed out and properly set up?

There appear to be some tuning issues going on that don't "jump" out at me right away. I'd need to have the bow in-hand and have you shooting it to try and figure out what's going on.

As for the new strings - you can go into Island Outfitters and have them put the strings on (they've at least got a proper press) but as for the tuning issues........well, I'd try to make an appointment with Eagle1 for that stuff. PM him and see if he can help you.

thanks for the info....

I posted my issues on the Mathews forum and it was mentioned that mu knock point could be to low and that the idler lean should be checked

that would be my first thought .... all things being equal (shot execution)

try shooting however with the same arrow .... shooting 3 differant breeds of arrows really doesnt tell us alot

when I shoot the .340 spined 29" eastons, this is what I get at 30 yards after I have warmed up. I believe thats 6 or 7 arrows. Field points obviously. Again this is using my 3rd pin. BH at that distance I use the 2nd pin to hit the 10 ring. Although I pull the arrow after each shot so I don't break other arrows. The bh group is obviously a bit wider, but all make it within that 4.5" bull on the target I posted a photo of above.



Just to clarify, My issue now is that the points are hitting 2.5" lower then the BH when I use the same pin for both at any given distance. (When I use 29" .340 spined arrows with 100g tips) Both arrows are the exact same length, spine and have 100g tips. Top one is a 100g Slicktrick BH

probally an arrow squareness issue or blade planing fighting the fletching

you are certain they weigh the same right.... you dont have 85 grain FP and 100 Grian BHs???? it may sound like a dumb question ... but lemme tell you ... its a valid one ....

if you really dont want to resight for BHs and FPs ... you will have to check the squareness of the insert and the nock end and adjust accordingly .... or refletch to the same angle as the blades ... or think about Mechanicals

[qhergt]

would shooting 85g points hit low like that?

*edit just weighed the points on my reloading scale.... 100gs

That phrase is nothing more than marketing hype ..... you could use 1 pin for all distances ... just know where to hold pin ...

one pin to 40 usually means zero a pin at 30 and high for 40 and low for 20

That phrase is marketing hype? I dont think you got the point. Why not just have all of your pins and take the guess work out of it?
