Problem with form?
recurve shooter:
jo5h when i frist started my arrows were way to stiff and i had the same problem. DONT IGNORE THIS! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROPERLY SPINED ARROWS!!
robby:
Josh, I had that very same problem years ago. I solved it by making bow after bow until I got them to shoot straight. Its kind of a round about solution, but it works.

J05H:
I don't think it's spine. My bow is 60# @28" and it's an inch and a half wide at the arrow pass. With 100 grain field points, I figured I would need about 40lb arrows. The arrows I bought are 30-50lb Carbon Express from Wal-Mart. They may not be right but the selection at Wal-Mart is limited and I haven't got the money to go somewhere like Bass Pro. I have some materials on the way to make my own. It may just be that they are not matched well enough. I don't know. Thanks for the suggestions.

recurve shooter:
oh, well i dont know. are you just switching from a compound?
robby:
Josh, I wasn't kidding about my solution. When My kids were little I wouldn't spend a nickel on myself for my primitive indulgences, what precious little time I had, would be used up making making arrows for a bow, or bows for a set of arrows that I had made, trying to get a good match up, Its a good way to build up an inventory and doesn't cost any more than a little chain saw fuel, or sweat if you only have an axe. I'd loose those carbon arrows first off and think hard on narrowing down the handle a bit, go out and cut a nice manageable diameter, clear, red or white ash tree and start making shafting. Course, I don't know your situation, and my advise is meant only a encouragement, please don't take it any other way. Good luck!
