    Bow creaking

    Howdy all, My 2021 PSE EVL 32 seems to creak when I draw it. It is most likely a couple of clicking sounds when drawing the bow but it honestly sounds like it’s creaking. When I draw the bow nothing seems to rub or touch, I’ve tightened all bolts and gone over the limbs to check for cracks...

    2021 failures, close calls, and lessons learned

    Not an elk story (as I'm in Aus) but a deer story. Hunting a local area without much sign all morning I decided to cross a large clearing and begin working my way back to the car with a somewhat favourable wind direction. Pretty much halfway across the clearing I notice a large hind (good...

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Thanks. Its kind of comforting to know it happens to other hunters. Lockdown is probably a good time for me to fully refine my tuning and set up and rebuild some of my confidence.

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    I suppose I was just a little shocked. Being pretty new to bowhunting I've only shot a few goats and every goat I've shot the arrow passed through like the animal wasn't even there. I'm shooting 70 pounds at 29.5 inches and shooting about a 500gn arrow. At 30 yards I just expected a complete...

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    No, two blade, double bevel fixed head. I was actually thinking of going to mechanicals?

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    So turns out the worst thing has happened. I spent heaps of time tuning, bareshaft and broadheads. I got the boardheads flying pretty well, I thought. Yesterday I put a shot on a deer. 30 yards, shot broke perfect and the impact site seemed to be perfect, right behind the front leg of the...

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Ok. Here’s where I’m at, and I think I’m happy enough. Thanks for all your advice. I gave up some paper tune to get my BH hitting with my FP out to 40 yards (pretty close at 50yards). BH are still higher at greater than 50 yards. I now have a slightly high and a little bit right paper tear at 5...

    Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. I'll give that a run.

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    In that case, I'm a bit stumped. Paper tune looks good, with both BH and FP, and bareshaft seems to hit pretty much the same as FP. Arrow flight looks great with both FP and BH. Its just the BH that hits higher after about 20 yards. Surely I've got to be close?

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Awesome! Thanks for this. I think my tune is pretty good. Its probably time to start refining my arrow set up and see where that leads me. If I can't get things looking good with different BH's then I'll start slightly tweaking my rest again.

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Oh yeah, I actually watched that. I've been thinking of running some three blades anyway. I only got the two blades as I was initially paranoid about penetration but every animal I've shot (mostly goats) have been complete pass throughs. Might just do that before I possibly undo my weekends hard...

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Also, is it just because of the broadhead planning that is making it hit higher?

    Ozcut, two blade 125gn.

    Hahahaha brilliant. Ok. Perhaps weekend wasn't so well spent.

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Ok. So much great info guys. Thanks so much. I've been working on this all weekend and it looks like I've managed to get some good arrow flight by just further tweaking my paper tuning right out to 10 yards. I've then shot heaps of arrows through paper at 30 yards to confirm good arrow flight...

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    I put lipstick on my vanes and there is none on my rest. I’m pretty confident it’s not vane contact. Bare shaft paper tune looks good to about 5-10 yards, then it’s pretty bad. broad head, bare shaft and field point group well at 20 yards, then the broad head and bare shaft group high at 30...

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Thanks so much. I slo-mo videoed my arrows and you can see the nock left after about 20 yards. The arrows are also nock left in the target. I’ll shoot some bare shards and broadheads.

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    I’m not too sure. I think they’re 50gn insert/outsert.

    Draw length is 29.5 inches.

    Arrows kicking to the left after 20 yards

    Thanks so much everyone. Looks like I’ve got some work ahead of me. Im identifying the nock left using slo-mo video and target impact angle. I suspected spine issue. Perhaps that’s the easiest to tweak by just adding a little weight up front. when I'm broadhead tuning do I just do that the same...
