[QUOTE="WildWillie, post: 599757, member: 29658"] PURVIS6 - I've lived your pain. Last fall I had the same thing happen to me. The consistancy with the Tac-15i was not there !! I cannot place an exact fix that happened, but I am finally getting solid 2" groups to 60yds and 3-4" groups at 90yds. There was a time when I was getting tight groups, but out of 6 arrows I would have 2 separate groups 6" apart. I think this was from a little extra pull on the string. One of the people I spoke to recommended that when you are cocking your Tac to back off on the crank handle about 1/8 of a turn after the carrier locks into place. You must do this with the clicker button depressed to allow the spool to go backwards. (CAUTION: Be sure you have a good hold on the cocking handle before you do this just in case the carrier pops out). I have not had the carrier pop out on me, but I was careless once while cocking and had the cocking handle slip out of my hand and when it backspun it busted up the back of my hand pretty good. After I started doing this, I have not had the separate groups !! I also had one limb separate. PSE replace all limbs and since it has been shooting very nice. If you look at some of my other posts here, I used to have a clunking sound while cocking and that was caused by the string not moving correctly over the spool when cocking. To mitigate this, I pull the string to the left when i start cocking it.(for the 1st 2-3 turns of the crank handle) WildWillie [/QUOTE]
