Help with Shooting Consistency

Josh Wilson:
I'm shooting an Elnglish Longbow, with the three fingered mediteranian release. My arrows are port orford cedar, iirc. I generally try to shoot instinctive, although sometimes I catch myself trying to sight down the arrow. The groups I shot werent bad. About 4 or 5 inches diameter.

I just glued points onto my arrows, and they arent coming off anytime soon so that I could put heavier ones on there. If I sanded my arrow down a bit between the fletchings and the points, would this help reduce the spine weight?

iowabow:
Yep

iowabow:
What kind of glue?

Josh Wilson:
I'm unsure, atm. Some clear drying 2 step epoxy.

iowabow:
You should be able to add heat and pull that off with pliers. I would change the wt before I would sand.  Then find some hot melt archery glue to attach your points with, it will make it easier to change them in the future. Sanding the shaft is a permanent kinda thing.
