Arrow Grouping

If your arrows are grouping either left or right of the target, it does not automatically mean that your arrows are of the wrong spine. It is a possibility that your arrows are out of spine but there are so many other reasons for this to happen. Some examples are:

Arrows hitting arrow rest
Badly tuned pressure button
Inconsistent release
Bow not tuned

If your arrows are consistently left or right of the target, seek advice. If it is one or two arrows that are off target then it is possibly something that you are doing.
