Have you tuned your broadheads? Line up the broadhead blades with your fletching using some small rubber O-ring gaskets that you can get at any hardware store. This makes them much more aerodynamic and improved my accuracy vastly. Also, each arrow will be more or less accurate with broadheads. I shoot each arrow individually and label them by number so I know which ones are most accurate. Lastly, I range some trees around me if an elk is coming in. Since I am terrible at judging distance, this helps me put that arrow in the vitals where it needs to be. Hope this helps.

The timing is a huge difference between compounds and traditional bows.
Sounds like a tough run of luck for you with the compound. I hope you can have some success with the compound and do well with whichever bow you take to the field in the future. Good luck!

Shooting fingers, no sights has advantages, you can get a shot off faster. Pick the weapon you prefer, and shoot distances your proficient at....good luck.

Your own writing says it all...scores under 40, misses @50+. HMMMM, sounds like you need to stick within your range limit.

Seems every trad shooter thinks a compound is something they can kill game at at longer distanes with easy. So much for a compound being easier... Seems either you're getting excited and dropping the bow or not settling the pin. Everyone has a kill range, and a lot of guys think they can extend that range shooting a modern bow. Very few realize the importance form plays in longer shots. It's simple, limit your yardage like you do your stick bow.
