I've got a Mathews VXR 28. I've done everything that I can think of to the bow but I'm consistently missing left about 2-3 inches from 30 yards.

Is it operator error?...also very possible.

Should I just take it to get it tuned?

I'm just asking for some opinions, thanks in advance.

What’s it doing at 20 and 40 yards. Broadheads or field points? Assuming you are spined correctly

Grip 1st thing
Second release pull through.
Third tuning, shoot through paper

20, seems within 1 inch of aim point.
40 yds, 3-4 inches.

and thank you! I'll take all of those into account to get it figured out.

OK, wait a minute. I just want to make sure I am reading you correct. at 20 yards, you are within 1" left, at 30 yards you are 2-3 in left, and at 40 yards, you are 3-4 inches left? Am I reading that right?

Bow isn’t vertical, tilting it

Sounds like a real easy fix. Adjust your sight.

I think the solution has been said already, Bobo pretty much nailed it or where to start. Is this a setup that was shooting on target in the past, if so more often than not it is something with form not the equipment. grip or follow through most likely. Not saying something with the bow hasn't changed but we as archers are the weakest link in shooting much of the time.


lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I appreciate all of this input, I didn't have a chance to shoot when I got home last night but I will tonight!

Thank y'all again.
