Have you re-tuned it? A new string will change a lot of things. If you keep having problems, then just put your old string back on.

Maybe along the lines of what Mike said with tuning, perhaps your nock point is too low/too high causing fletching contact?

OK I agree with a propper tuning of the bow now aftyer the new string change, paper tune it
and I will also add, get the draw weight checked on it, if your old string was well stretched, making it longer, even if in tune, adding a new propper weight can add LBS to the draw weight, and the extra weight could be causing your to have impropper form, thus making your groups open up
I would also go over the whole bow and make sure nothing is loose, and last, check the nocking point on the string, measure it even, make sure its not a LOT thicker, causing the arrows to leave funny, a too tight nock on the string can cause it to fly funny, thus opening up your groups
Mike my old string was well wore.out it has streched over an inch and was frayed i didnt trust it anymore. The pro shop said they re tuned my bow and paper tuned it after the new string was put on my 20yrd pin id dead nutts now i went thru n started re sighting all my pins in and had to move my sight to the right to compensate for the windage but now iam shooting better groups hope tom to dial my 30 n 40 yrd pins in and work on my 50 pin on sun before i have to go to work ill keep yall posted . Wish i knew how to post pics id show ya my new string its blk n orange . I think my peep is a little higher than my last one also but iam gettin used to the new nock point on my bottom jaw so idk lol keep yall posted ill send Seeker a pic of my string n see if he can post it for me . Jammie at Strasburg outdoors made the string for me ty for all the info guys i did chexk all the bolts screws n nutts all were tight
well good to hear your happy now, but to be honest, I would still take a paper shot or two
every bow shop, that claimed to have papertuned a bow???
not saying they didn't, but never hurts to double check
these days, folks in business, don't always do what they say, sadly!
Just saaying! wouldn't be the first time a bow shop lied LOL
and a different nock point, will change your form, so that could be why the gropus opened up right there! Form is so important in accuracy in all weapons!
I don't know how some of these proshops can sleep at night!!!!! Some body else can't tune your bow, you have to do it. They don't put their hand in the grip the same, might not be the same release, way to many differences between people and shooting styles for someone else to be tuning your bow. And like mrbb said, if they did anything at all.
