Arrows waving goodbye

<< < (2/3) > >>

ThomasJ2352:
Thanks for the suggestions...I think the problem could be everyone of em  :P

I do use a glove but my release is suspect...could never figure out why when guys release their hand gets pulled back behind their head...
I suppose it ensures more of a direct repeatable release rather than the possibility of a pull away....one thing that I didn't think about is
when I pull back I intentionally twist the string clockwise (from top down) with my grip to keep the shaft against the shelf edge....

I have made my own arrows to this point (I'm cheap!) and use both hardwood dowels and bamboo (bamboo seems a bit stiffer but way
too much work  ::) )...the dowels spin pretty straight but the bamboo is all over the place...the the flopping doesn't seem to be specific
to either type though...I use fletching bought from my local archery store...4" lenght but haven't been overly concerned about the uniformity
of the glue jobs I do...the first ones I did I kept them straight but now do a twist.
I'll try different tip weights too....

Thanks again for all the help. Greatly appreciated.
Tom

  SIDE WAYS left to right to heavy or light spine.
  UP AND DOWN you need to move your nock point up or down.
  Or you have a bent arrow but a small bend in the aroows use'lly not the problem.
  You cna have both or all 3.

Thesquirrelslinger:
My arrows are NEVER perfectly straight.
Ever.
Try spine, I have had major issues with it. Also, try heavier points+bigger fletches- they help bring an arrow into alignment quicker.

lostarrow:
A heavier point will change the spine (lower) Which could work ,if that's your problem.Post some pics of the arrows.

Thanks for the helpful info...haven't had time to experiment much yet...her is a pic
of my arrows...most are relatively straight...one or two of the bamboo warp their own way...
