One arrow shoots consistently high

Pat B:
Make a fluflu out of it.  ;)

Eric Krewson:
I can make a set of perfectly matched arrows, one or two will always be disappointment.

I have tried to recut the nock taper to get them to fly right but nothing works.

I was shooting the other day and was shooting consistently high and left. I only shoot one arrow, retrieve it and shoot again. I was thinking I was having a really bad day then decided to change arrows, bingo! I was back to being spot on again.

If I can't tame an errant arrow, off it goes to my ever expanding dead arrow pile.

DC:
You would think that after 10,000 years there would be a "this causes that" list for arrows. ;D But it just seems that if it don't work "chuck it or give it to the enemy" seems to be the only fix.

Hi DC, I haven't been on the board for a long while but I
've been keeping up with things. There's a simple fix to your problem. I call it field tuning. Reason your arrows is hitting high is because you have a stiff side of the shaft oriented down on the shelf. Simple fix is to flex that side down (center of shaft) using hand pressure to slightly weaken it.

DC:
Hi Art. That makes sense but I have a question. I shoot off my knuckle so shouldn't I feel the arrow go by if it's stiff down? I'm assuming it's going high in your scenario because it's whacking off the shelf. I checked the spine and it is a touch higher one way.
Oh that would explain why it seems to shoot a little better cock in.
