Changed POI

Post by kurisu »

Has anyone noticed their poi change after installing the S5? I was under the impression that it didn't affect the speed of the arrow. After installing the S5 and putting the shrink wrap on my arrow stabilizer I have lost about 5 inches over 40 yrds.... When I put the bow away in the fall I was on the money, now I'm shooting very low... I haven't played around with the scope yet, I guess lots of things could have happend- shifted reticle, April fools joke on my scope settings etc....

Regards,

Make sure your string is not resting on the bumpers. I havent noticed any changes with POI .

There's a good chance that it's operator error. It's been a long winter and an even longer spring. The good news is the turkey opener is just a few days away!

Thanks everyone.

Or the poi changed from the bow sitting overwinter both mine did about the same.
