Re: help?? at indoor range new bolts do great at 20yrds but.
Start with the elimination process. Make sure scope base is not loose. I recommend locktite on every screw! If this checks out, or your repair this, then shoot one arrow only until you know it is perfect, and not the source of variation, then try another! Mark the ones that do great, pull out the ones that don't. If these all perform well, and suddenly you're off target again, scope is most likely the culprit!
Good Luck.

Mike is right, I don't know anything about the Bloodlines, but smaller diameter arrows, with less spine than necessary = disaster! Start by checking screws, and getting good Bolts to shoot.

Well let me tell tell i am sorry. Now you can take yer arrows to yer Dealer & tell him he is an Idiot! Not only that he should never be running an archery shop. Oh by the way i did have my own Archery shop fer yrs down in my home state. Small at home shop but i did. Do you have vertical nocks in yer arrows ? I have been out of the business fer many yrs now, didn't know if these newer Easton Bloodlines used flat nocks.
Re: help?? at indoor range new bolts do great at 20yrds but.

Re: help?? at indoor range new bolts do great at 20yrds but.
How many inches off are they ??? Are they really flying eratic or they just shooting left at longer yardages ??? I would recommend making sure the scope is mounted level on the bow and after that make sure you're not canting the bow severely . What kind of fletching do your bolts have on them ??? And how much helical ???

Re: help?? at indoor range new bolts do great at 20yrds but.
At 0.003" your arrows should fly well.
What fletchings are on the arrow shafts?
I assume you are cocking with an Excalibur rope cocker? Is the string about 1/4" from the rubbers?
Are you shooting off a bench? Were you shooting off a bench at the shop?
Did you shoot just one arrow at the shop?
Is one of the dozen arrows the one you were shooting in the shop?

Re: help?? at indoor range new bolts do great at 20yrds but.
Take one arrow out of the bunch and put the rest away! Shoot just that arrow until you find the problem and shoot from a rest if you can.Your problem is in one of the previous posts, loose screws, scope, or how you cock it! Also mark one of the vanes and make sure you put that vane down all the time.By doing this you should find your problem quick

Re: help?? at indoor range new bolts do great at 20yrds but.
I am sorry to have been short & unmannered to you. This is about yer Excal & the arrows not shootin well. Take one arrow put a dot on any vane, that vane goes down in the slot. Make sure all trigger assembly & stock screws are tight. Make sure the scopemount & rings are tight. Shoot the arrow off a bench & see where it hits. Now go to the next vane put 2 dotts on it & they goe down into slot. Shoot off bench & see where it hits. Now if the arrows does not hit center either of those 2 times do 3 dots. If'en the arrow never hits to yer aim pt the arrow is messed up, could be vanes or fletchin angle or the scope is messed up or yer canting yer crossbow when shooting

Check to make sure that the scope is plumb and that you are not canting the Xbow.
Are you shooting field points or broadheads?
