Bowyers Bible Arrow Impact Explanation - Is it wrong?

<< < (4/7) > >>

Holten101:
I know the drawing is incorrect...but somehow that is exactly what happens when I shoot...under spined goes left (the weaker the spine...the further left it goes), but I cant for the life of me get any kind of spine to go right.....even excessivly high spines (light carbon arrows for my compound) goes were they are suppose to! This happens on my selfbows, my glass longbow and my glass recurve (the latter is centershot), and the tendency is so pronounce that im simply get the higehst spine arrows I can get hold of:-(

Something is wrong (having a compound is wrong...but that is not what I mean;-).....but I cant be the only one who experience this?

Ps: Im a right handed shooter (hold my bow in the left hand, and arrow rest on/above knuckles).

Cheers

Justin Snyder:
Close to center shot? Even if the bow isn't cut, the string doesn't always track down the middle.

holten101,
I shoot a Hoyt Dorado and my arrows did the same thing. I had to play with the thickness of my strike plate due to the fact the sight window on my dorado is cut so far past center. I think I have gotten it right now but stiffer arrows still shoot better and weak arrows go left.

artcher1:
Holten101, is the string touching your arm/guard/clothing when you shoot? Art

Holten101:
No...I have no string contact what so ever...and this the "weak spine left" happens with every type of bow I use (havent tested the compound though). I tried shortening a shaft in 1" increments...and each time I cut an inch...it moved alittle more right:-(

My mind tells me this is wrong...but im ending up with a pretty well tuned set when I disregard "reality" and follow the wrong explanation given in TBB (oh yeah...I have seen it pictured like in TBB other places...but it could be hasty copies).

If I had some youtube skills I would make a movie showing my "dilemma".

Cheers
