Something can be precise but not accurate.

How does accurancy differ from precision in a scientific measurement?

Consider someone firing a rifle at a target. If their shots centre around the bullseye, they were accurate, even if the scatter is quite large. If the scatter is very small (i.e. all the shots are very clustered) they were very precise - even if that cluster is far from the bullseye. So accuracy: how on target are you. Precision: How much spread is there around the target?
