Arrow ?

<< < (2/2)

wvarcher:
the length varies from 28 to 30 inches.   I will leave the arrows longer when i want a lighter spine shaft.   For example,i have a 40lb@28" that is cut to 30" leaving me with a 30lb arrow.  That arrow shot to the left 6" at 10 yards and high 6".  Every arrow i shoot seems to fly great.  They don't hit knock left or knock right in the target. I use a 6" brace and knock the arrow 1/8th inch above horizontal.  That's always worked for me.

Pat B:
Your arrows seem to be consistant. Maybe you need to aim more to the right.
  As far as shooting high try raising your noch a bit more. I usually start at 3/8" above horizontal but I nock my arrow above the nock.

Pappy:
Hold low and to the right. ;) ;D ;D Sorry about that,couldn't help myself. ;) :) I usuall go about 10lbs under bow weight on not center shot selfbows.  :) Also if the arrow in right on the top of you hand ,like I make mine,cant a little more.That will move the arrow right. As long as the arrow flies good,not kicking tail high or tail low .Or kicking left or right I will adjust the grip or cant a little more or a little less with each bow. None or the same. :)

Appreciate all the suggestions.  I shot a red oak flat bow that i just finished and it shot well for me.  No left or right problems.   So it may not be a problem with my form.   tomorrow i will take my D bow out and raise the nocking point first and then shoot it.  If that don't work i will cant the bow to see if i can "walk" that arrow over.  Might even try four fletches if necessary.  Gonna try one thing at a time.   This is the same bow that i posted pics of on here a few weeks ago for a tiller check.
