I live in the athens area. What sort of help do you need? What type of string do you have on your bow, endless loop or flemish twist? What material is it made from? Some older bows can not handle the new string materials, espeacially if your bow doen't have limb tip laminations. Is the string fuzzy (broken strands) or maybe the string is unraveling. If your not sure what the spine is of your arrows you may be able to take them to ohio valley gun shop in logan, nelsonville or athens and they can help. I usually shoot arrows 5 pounds under the spine weight of my bow, but thats just me.
