Very sad situation. Probably should sell the bow to me. That seldom happens with any of my bows!   :bigsmyl:    :biglaugh:

Quit shooting at your own arrows! You need a dartboard pattern target, or a big block target with multiple spray painted dots. Mine looks like a 2x2 5-dot die.

Course, I haven't done that to my arrows in quite a while...

I have split  arrows with this bow 15-25yrds, todays at 20yrds , first 2 arrows in the group. What is really impressive is the power splitting through the footing ,my other bows usually only split the knock or only split the shaft 1/2 inch    (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq136/bloodtrailer7/430d1f76-3c9a-4db6-9301-36ad568cba92_zpse20e11ab.jpg) Hay m60gunner I also use to carry a M60 23 pounds of fun reach out and touch them at 1100yrds and a colt 45 on my web gear.95Bravo

In my opinion Silvertips are the most accurate and forgiving bows made today. The perfect hunting tool.

I think it would be most cost effective to send me your bow.   ;)    ;)

I have a Tiip, love it but I have a better chance of winning Lotto than getting a robinhood! Count your blessings, still the guy holding the bow is the important thing...

There is a trick I learned long ago. Shoot at a different place each time. (Grin)

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and live with it.

yup life is tuff with only one target dot( I'll have pull a Terry and put many dots on the bail)
But I was still tuning &
when I tune bare shaft I always shoot one pingpong ball size single dot , first the fletched then the bare shafts to 10- 25yrds and that's when the destruction/robin hoods have happen.
The best/worst was when a bare shaft(while tuning a Dale Dye) robinhooded     :archer2:    one of the fletched shafts     :deadhorse:

Put enough dots on there and no matter where you hit , everythings good.    :archer2:
