Maverick Arrow

(1/2) > >>

Hey all,
  I just finished making a few more arrows, and I've got one maverick of the bunch.  I'm shooting at about 17yrds, and she wants to stray off to the left of where I'm aiming, by more than a foot almost every time.  What would cause that?  The arrow is straight, and I was sober when making them.  I'm trying to figure out if it's a spine issue, a fletching issue, or something that I'm not aware of just yet.  I haven't spined them yet, nor have I weighed them, so this may be the problem.  Below are my specs

1.  37# @28" w/ center-cut shelf.
2.  Wood Type: Poplar
3.  Fletch:  Trueflight Shield feathers, put on by hand and not on a fletcing jig
4.  100gr field tips

Bill Skinner:
It sounds like too stiff or too much spine.  Try a heavier point.  Bill

mullet:
 Try flipping it over and putting the Cock feather against the handle.

Pat B:
I was gonna say the same as Eddie.  Sounds odd but many times the arrow will fly well. ::)

Too late to try it out, but if flipping it around did work, should I re-fletch with the cock-feather on the other side of the shaft?
