Need some help!

[P & Y]

Decided to lose the training wheels this year!!! I picked up the Bear Patriot to get started, coupled with the the Gold Tip traditional wood grains(3555). I am using 125 grain field tips and having arrows kicking every which way. About every couple a shots it will kick one way or the other.Doesnt seem to be a pattern its just random from shot to shot. Is this a problem with the flletching alignment or where should i start? any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here you go. This will get you shooting the best you can shoot right off the bat. Everything else is just practice, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

What are your specs? Weight and draw lenght, most likely you will have to add more weighed to the tip and raise your nock height some, what are the arrows cut to?

Sounds a lot like a release problem more so than anything else.

What I was thinking.
It still happens to me. More often than I would like.
The release and anchor is my worst enemy.

Very well could be a release issue since im a greenhorn. I am shooting three under just because thats what felt natural at first. Arrows are 28" and the bow says AMO 64" 50#. Is there an accurate way to measure knock location without one of the rulers that clips on the string?

[muzzlebrake]

3 under is much much more critical for me on the release being perfect as well as follow thru. I started out split years ago when I only shot trad (cause that's all there was back then) and when I turned the corner last year and went Trad again after 35 yrs I started back shooting 3 under. It wasn't long before I switched back to split because for me it's way more forgiving. I had shot wheel bows for so long somehow I thought I had to have something to sight down and therefore the reason for shooting 3 under. It wasn't long before I re-discovered my old so-called instinctive shooting style and now that's where I'm at and my comfort level and confidence is back to where it used to be-----I think?

[P & Y]

I believe I will give both a try before i get grooved on three under. I will try anything for a little extra forgiveness at this point. Are you supposed to unstring every time you shoot or can you leave it on as long as it stays indoors?

May need more spine, better heavy than light. What is your brace height? Rest, or off the shelf?
Just eyeball to make sure arrow is slightly nock high.
