Arrow spine not making sense, to me
willie:
might have something to do with the arrow pass width/centershot

loon:
I'm curious, at what angle do they hit the target? Tail right?
This stuff is confusing
TSA:
in my experience, bareshaft and fletched arrows will tell the same story just differently.
where a bareshaft will say throw the nock left( so kinda point right!), that will indicate a weak shaft, whereas the same weak, but fletched shafts will impact to the left, this is due to the stabilisation factor of the fletches.
so if your FLETCHED shafts, as a grouping are impacting to the right, yes that is stiff, if you stripped the feathers off, that bare shaft would show nock right, and point left!
however bareshafting can really expose errors in your shooting form, and so, in turn, tell lies!
make sure your form is good, take your time, shoot slowly- dont fatigue- even use a clicker just for the tuning- focus on your release. ( or look up Rick Welch and his method of shooting- its a fool proof way of ensuring the same drawlength and same back tension ever time!!)
-dont cant the bow
-shoot groupings
-start close- otherwise you will break shafts!!!
i like to get in the ball park with the bareshafts, thereafter i follow Adcocks advice,
the real ticket is "group tuning" shoot a group of bareshafts and a group of fletched shafts, and get the final points of impact the same- use groups, 3 or 4 shafts!

last tip. when bareshafting- i finish up just a tad weak- as the fletching will stiffen the shaft a wee bit.
Knoll:
ahaaaaa! Thanks.
ksnow:
That makes perfect sense with what I was seeing. Thank you very much for that explanation. I was thinking there was some confusion over bare vs. fletched shafts, point left and right versus nock left and right.
Group is what did it for me. I shot 3 of each arrow and looked to see what the group trend was. At the end, all 6 arrows were in a single mixed group.
