So, you have indexed your arrows. How much difference does it make in your 5 shot group at 40 yards?

If you don't index, but get the accuracy you want at the range you shoot, good. I don't index, but get what I consider tight enough groups for me. I don't hunt past 40 yards or target shoot past 50. I have recently moved towards even more FOC, and found that to tighten up the groups a lot.
Indexing won't hurt, and many swear by it, most of those folks know a lot more than me, and probably shoot better.

I index my single shot rifles, even index my reloading, I also weigh every power charge, cases, bullets and sometimes primers. It cuts my 200 yard groups down from 1.0 inch to 0.75. Is it worth it? Not for a hunting rifle, but for me....yes.

When you index your bolts, how much do you reduce your 5 shot group at 40 yards? Is it worth it?
