I practiced a few sessions before opening day and thought I was hitting pretty good. I had enough confidence to try a 32 yd shot and killed the deer. It wasn't a good hit, but the Muzzy is very effective.

So I decided maybe I'm not in such bad physical shape that I can't bowhunt any more. I did a good bit of practicing since the opener and found out I'm a terrible shot. I've cut the range I would shoot one from 30 down to 20.

I'm thinking my arrows are part of the problem and wonder if I could get some advice from the experts? I bought a PSE 60-70 lb bow in 1999 and the guy told me my 2117 arrows would not work with it set on 65 lbs where I wanted it. They tried to get me to switch to carbon then, but I wanted to stick with aluminum. So I bought a dozen xx78 that are 31" long and size 2315 and have been using them since.

I bought a Matthews DXT in 2007 and had them set it at the max of 60 lbs. I thought I needed a 50-60 lb bow so I could let it off as I got older. Shaw tuned it and it shot perfectly with the same arrows.

I've let it off several times and now I'm down the maximum 5 turns so it should be around 50 lbs. The charts say my arrows are wrong for a bow this light, and I wonder if that's my main problem. Sometimes the arrows fly straight and sometimes I can actually see the fletching kick left and the arrow hits 6" right at 20 yards. Could the spine being too stiff cause this flight pattern, or is it likely something with my bow being changed due to letoff adjustment?

If the wrong spine will cause them to shoot right, then I guess it's time for me to join the 21st century and switch to carbon. Thanks for any ideas.
