For the last few weeks, I have been shooting badly with the recurve I have. Part of it has been a combination of me and the arrow rest and trying to shoot the bow in a consistent, repetitive manner to yield the best results. Then I took the bow in for a new string and the pro archer at our shop stated he could see that the limbs were twisted slightly and the string was out of alignment. You could have knocked me down with a feather! He's fixed it now and tillered it slightly to sort it out but it might be the reason why the arrows have been going all over the place and not grouping as they should.
