centershot?
sonny:
2216s are way too stiff for that bow.
they MIGHT shoot ok if you use a little heavier point in 'em but I'd suggest going a couple of steps lighter or better yet
start shooting wood !

At a 30 1/2" draw the 2216 bare shafts perfect for my recurves. This selfbow got me going though. It's not far off centershot, but enough to cause problem. If I was a pure instinctive shooter I'm sure I'd make the adjustment automatically, but I aim. I'm gonna try to figure out if my problem is caused more to fletching interference than with arrow spine.
I'm using the floppy leather rest and really like shooting with off it. I hope I don't have to do any drastic alterations, I have a hemp handle grip with two coats of spar varnish that I'd rather not mess with.
Diligence:
Could you try using a thinner piece of leather at the strike plate? (I'm not sure how thick your floppy rest is). I made a floppy rest too (but too thick) and ended up making it a bit thinner on the strike plate side and it helped with arrow flight.

when using a properly spined arrow, (upon release) the tail end of the arrow is far enough away from the bow that the fletching will not touch the bow.

Check the overall straightness of your bow. ART
