So today, I went ahead and got a kisser button. While he was setting it up, he noticed my peep was too low and raised it. He also worked with me to show me the more correct way to anchor. A very good trip to Bucket Of Bows in Fort Payne. When I got home, I adjusted my pins a little and started shooting. After a couple of rounds I was grouping pretty good at 20 yds. I may not be dead on the dot, but I'll work on consistency first, then accuracy. keep in mind, this is only my fourth time to shoot my bow.

I will also add that I had been up for 27hrs when I shot those, so steadiness is not my strong point today.

Good deal. Keep working. My 2 cents - Try and keep your arrows as close to identical as you can, length, weight, vanes, etc.
Also, It's possible that you have an arrow or 2 that just don't shoot the same as the others. In other words, if you have a good group and the same arrow is always out of the group( by a noticeable amount) then put it aside and don't shoot it.

Is it common to have an arrow or two out of a dozen that are duds?

Not sure how common but it happens. A lot of people will number their arrows to track which ones shoot best or worst. It happens to me but I fletch my own arrows so mine is probably due to my fletching job. Also, if you ever see a damaged carbon arrow, do not shoot it, for safety reasons. You do not want that arrow exploding when you shoot it.

Now that you have a taste, focus on the spot and don't care if you hit it. It'll come easier to you.

Another good way to mark a good arrow is with blood. Good grouping there and watch out it will get addictive.
