Title: Clickety Klick does the trick / Arrow tuning question
Post by: FurFlyin on August 26, 2010, 09:18:00 PM
After reading some of the posts here I thought I'd order a clicker.  After about 30 minutes of adjustment frustration, I have to say I am glad I followed through with putting it on.  Yesterdays 10 yard group size is todays 20 yard group size.  Yesterday 30 yards was a lost cause, today with the clicker 30 yards seems very do-able with more practice.  I thought my draw was dead on every shot, anchoring in the same spot every time.  Obviously not.

Now that I have acheived some consistency, 99% of my arrows are flying high and to the left.  I am a LH shooter.  I shoot with a whole lot of bow cant.  Maybe this is the cause?  I'm shooting a 51# Quinn Longhorn Classic.  Not cut to center, maybe 1/8th" outside.  When I shot traditional 20 years ago, I just ordered the proper weight cedar shafts and left it at that.  Now with the carbons, Gold Tip 3355 - full length - 145 gr. points in my case, I have all this new stuff to learn.  EFOC, FOC, brass inserts, etc...  I need some tutoring.  Thanks.
