I'm using a QAD drop away rest. I've done the walk back tuning and then shot through the paper.
The fletching is tearing to the left just a little. Do I need to move my rest to the right?
I've got it about as far right as it will go. Maybee I need to put a shim between the rest and the bow so I'll have more room to move right? Advice please?

Poor form can also cause tears to the left or right. Make sure your grip is not causing it and you have good follow through.

I THINK my form is good. I've been trying to make sure my grip is right and I don't think I'm torqing. I just haven't shot as much this year as I have in years past. I wonder if that's kind of messing up my stability. Gonna start by trying to shoot alot more.
If everything looks good on the walk back tuning and my tears are okay Vertically, should I wory about further adjustments?
I'm hitting the target fine but my groups aren't quite what they have been in the past and my broadheads aren't hitting quite the same as my field points.
Right now I'm grouping about 1.5" at 25 yds. with field points. I feel comfortable shooting at a deer with a Rage but not the Muzzys. I would like to start using Cut on contact heads exclusively though. That's why I want to make sure I'm tuned just right.

Muzzy's don't group well for me either. Try Magnus Stingers

I've got a pack of Magnus Stingers on the way. Do y'all like the 2 blade or the 4?
I ordered the 2. I want to give myself the best chance for a pass through for trailing purposes.

Dang. Should have got the 4. Guess I can always order more. Probably help the animal bleed out quicker huh?

Did you start out at 5 yards with no fletching? Your paper rack should be high enough that you are shooting straight ahead. Shooting down into a paper rack is a waste of time. Once you make a clean bullet hole with no fletching, you're 99% of the way there. Any problem after that is probably due to vane/fletching clearance; not rest position.
Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent.
