shooting heavy spined arrows

<< < (2/3) > >>

jayman448:
im basically shooting them because it is all i have left. my matched arrows are in poor condition and i just havent had the time to get them fixed. all of this information has mad a lot of sense. thanks guys

Pappy:
My stiff arrows hit tail Right into the target, weak hit tail left. to heavy or to light who know where they might hit. Don't know about the point of impact thing, if my arrows are tuned and spline is correct the point of impact is where I am looking, I know some tube shooters or gap shooters use the point of impact thing, just not sure how all that works if the arrow in flying good. The only point of impact problem I have is if the arrow is heavy or light in physical weight then the impact is of course going to be low with a heavier arrow.  :o  ;)

bradsmith2010:
if you leave the arrow full length,, it should shoot out of the bow,,
if the only arrow that fly good are you flu flu, then maybe the bow is not set up right,,
I can shoot 70# spine out of my 50 # bow, if I leave them long,,
lots of variables here,,
the flu flu may be correcting for your form as well,,

and the other arrows are not,, just guessing,,

BowEd:
Shooting full length tapered dogwoods or bamboo can be forgiving too.Like 5/16" at the nock and 23/64" at the tip.Good hunting arrows are precious.Getting a half dozen together can take a bit of time but it's what we do if we want to hunt with success consistently.

    I am no arrow expert, and I'm new to tuning arrows to bows. A buddy of mine fun of me because I had more bows than arrows. Anyway, jayman448, I hope you don't mind me throwing a question out on your post, but it's about stiff arrows.
    I know the general rule has been shoot 10 lbs under bow weight. When I did this with one of my recent bows, bares shaft, my arrows flew wild and hit the target so side ways, nock left, the arrows were snapping. I couldn't get decent flight until I got all the way up to 70 lbs spine and lowered my tip weight to 125 from 160, and cut shafts to 28". . It seems to me I'm doing something wrong....and no, my bow is not so fast it demands stiff arrow. It shoots 160 gps with 11 gpo arrows. Any ideas why it seems to want high spine, or what I'm doing wrong.
