tgr:
I've made some red osier arrows with tradepoints.  Some arrows have right wing fletching and some left wing.  Most of the arrows seem to hit high and left.  I've reduced the middle of the shafts somewhat to lessen the spine as per some other articles I've read.  Should I continue to take off wood on the arrows?

My self bow has a slight twist and the string where I knock the arrow lines up a little further to left than center.  Not sure if that matters.  I "cant" the bow slightly  say 45 degrees to the right when shooting.  I'm a righty.

Thanks ahead for any advice.

Do you mean that you have both right and left wind on the same arrow? Im a nooby but I dont think you should do that.

tgr:
No, some are fletched with right wing, and some are fletched with left wing.  Not a combination.

tgr,
      The bow shooting high might be from the knocking point being high....that drives the arrow hard into the shelf and the arrow therefore comes of it headed up. ya can correct some of the right/left stuff by "canting" a little bit more and see if that helps (as long as it dont screw up your shooting). Dont know how much "extra" shaft ya have but another way to change your point of impact is with head weight. A heavier head in your case will bring the arrows a little lower and more to the right. If you really like the "trade" points adding weight may not be an option. Hope that might help ya out some.....by the way I shoot both right and left fletched arrows and that doesn't really have any effect on point of aim for me....JMO
