A lot of great advice on this topic.

I strongly agree on the advice of getting the bow set up properly.

Think of it like this..........if the bow is not "adjusted" or set up correctly, the arrow will be wobbling in the air as it flies toward the target. This is not good.

Most Bow shops can check and adjust a bow so that it shoots good. The key word is "MOST". That is why AceArcher said to check the "paper tune" at the bow shop so you can see that the bow shoots "bullets" holes. When shooting the paper tune arrows, this should be done at 2 different distances [like 5' and 10'] because the arrow wobble might not show up at one distance but be "off" at the second distance.

I check my bow and adjust as needed. Years ago, I could not get my arrows to shoot "bullet" holes. They were close, but could not make it shoot "perfect". I finally learned that the 2 limbs on the bow were not doing "equal" work. Once I adjust that, the bow shot much better.
