Some of you may have read my story from this weekend (hit a very nice 8 in the shoulder, broke off broadhead with only about 1.5" of penetration.
Well I bought a 3 pack of rage 2 blades today and when I got home I threw them on 3 of my arrows. Started shooting at a deer target that I have and when aiming mid lung I kept shooting about 4 inches to the left and 2 inches high (right in the shoulder! (this should have been my DUH moment)
I was thinking I would have to adjust sights, but I went ahead and loaded up my old 3 arrows (same ones I fired Sunday) and they hit in the same grouping. This is very weird because I had just fired this bow Sunday morning to verify grouping and in 2 years it has never needed adjustment.
Then it hit me... while carrying in the ladder stand on my back I dropped my bow from about 4 feet up, and it hit right on its side directly on the ground. I inspected it and nothing appeared to have moved so I went on about my business and set up the stand.
So I grabbed the wrench and moved it 1 click over.... BAM.
Bulls-eyes again. Don't assume your equipment is ok!
I lost a very nice 115 class 8 point Sunday because of this!!!
