Bareshafting bamboo question

<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
Even if you can't get them to go in straight the fletching will steer them to do so. Get them as close as possible then fletch them.  (SH)

bjrogg:
I'd agree with your conclusion. I'd also agree with your testing procedure. Give it a try. I found it very interesting and like Pat says. They don't have to be perfect. The fletching will slow the tail and straighten the flight but the closer to perfect the lesser amount of fletching and better flight you'll get.

Mesophilic:
Added about 25 grains to a couple of arrows and thst changed the bareshaft flight for the better.  One flew dead straight and the other nock left ever so slightly but an improvement over how it flew previously.

Thanks for the tips!  Can't wait to get the rest of the batch changed over and get some fletches on them.

bjrogg:
Glad you did some experimenting dieselchesse. I find bareshafting very interesting. If you really wanted to you could probably shorten those nock left ones just a little bit to stiffen them up just a tad.

If they're tad more "nock left" than you'd prefer, I'd shorten 'em a bit . . . like 1/4"at a time.
Good luck!
