Hey guys, I got my Creed back from the bow shop with the new strings. It has always been very finicky about the way way I grip it. The only way I can get any sense of repeatability out of it is to hook the grip with my thumb and keep my palm and hand completly away from touching the grip during the shot. Well right now I can do everything the same and arrows are going everywhere. Like a 14"-16" spread at 30 yards. I am not the best archery shot but with my other bow I can always shoot 3"-5" at that range. I am super annoyed with it right now and frustrated. I am wondering if anyone near BCS or Waco has the time to try to help diagnose my issue. I don't know if it needs tuning or if it's just a result of poor form. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

more of a vertical spread or horizontal?
I would think with vertical, I would lean towards cam timing
horizontal would be a form issue
also, be aware that new strings can cause poundage to go up ever so slightly, due to not being stretched. if you were on the tip of being underspined, you very well could be now.

Go to live oak archery in Bryan; they are a site sponsor as well, they will get you tuned up. Also get you some 300 spine arrows... my creed sprayed like that when I was underspined, even worse with broadheads at 65 lbs. Do you have the focus grip? I could never be consistent when I had it on my bow, best thing I ever did was rip that junk off and wrap the riser in tennis racket grip.

It has the focus grip and I'm not a big fan but I have the same grip on my other bow and it shoots just fine.

and I would say youre underspined
im just in the beginning stages of learning to tune, so just some ideas
So yeah....I'm a Dumbarse! I read the thread and noticed a small piece of fuzz on the moleskin on the fork of my rest. Looked back at the arrows I have been slinging and there was the slightest clear streak on the vanes.
So I pulled the moleskin off and wiped the fork down with fingernail polish remover. The pic below is my 60 yard group before adjusting the pin. Thanks Hully!

I’ve heard it’s not as bad on other bows. But have heard, and experienced the creed being picky about hand placement
