hey im kinda new to custom tuning a bow but my martin jaguar has a goofy habit of kickin arrows to the side?? i checked the fletchings and they dont make contact. should i slide my rest to the left?

Have you done any other tuning ..ie Paper Tuning to check your arrow flight? It may be that your are not shoot a arrow that is properly spined.

Opps...
Forgot to add that it could still be a fletching contact issue. Try powder testing the arrow.

whats a powder test?

What type of rest are you shooting? Also what arrow(size), length, poundage and point weight? I would suggest you start with paper tuning.

tm hunter and im shootin 25in aluminum arrows, and pullin 70lbs with a draw length of 29"........idk how its possible to have 25in arrows with a 29 in draw length...is that normal? should i use a longer arrow?

first, that can happen on any bow with a cable guard.. sounds like your arrow vanes are hitting your cables some times ..powder testing is ...putting some thing on your arrow vanes ..like foot powder .underarm deodorant ..chaulk etc ...and then look to see if you get white marks on your cables IE showing that your vane hit and threw the arrow off ....also, if it does it again mark that arrow and see if it is the same arrow that is flying off every time ..You arrows may be too stiff or weak as well... 25 for 29 in draw ..hum ..I don't see how your arrow is not coming past your rest and falling off .. do you have some type of over draw on the bow ?

25 for 29 in draw ..hum ..I don't see how your arrow is not coming past your rest and falling off .. do you have some type of over draw on the bow ?

i have no idea......i thought it has to defy some type of physics law or somethig.......what's an overdraw?

 

[ftshooter]

yes, you may want to move your rest just a little to the left ..see if that helps ..if not move a little to the right ..try that ...you can mark it first and if that doesn't work put it back where it was.. Do you have a bow shop around where you live.. ? If so , ask them to check it out for you and see what they say .. It could be a number of things ..

 

[blindfly69]

yea but the shop i went to jus moved and i got no idea where to....does anybody know where H&H archery moved to ? i could go to dick's but i dont really trust their bowtech workin on it
