Bare shaft tuning
stiknstring:
Scattershot hit it all over the place I think. I do not pay attention to the whether or not the nock is this way or that way etc. I only worry about point of impact. Seems I read that somewhere or someone posted that once but I remember them saying that the point of impact is the important part as the fletching will correct minor deviations
JackCrafty:
Sticknstring.....I think Sidewinder is shooting bare shafts? There is no fletching to correct minor deviations....(I hope I'm reading you right).
Hmmmm...I'm still pondering the idea that cutting a shaft does not increase spine....(don't know about that one...hmmmm....maybe it's true with non-wooden, parallel shafts? ::)).
Sidewinder:
Point weight is 125g. I will have to weigh the arrow to see what it weighs. I am not sure what you mean when you say where is it hitting th target? Do you mean is it hitting high or low and right or left? if so then it is hitting high left. As far as nocking point where should I measure from to give you an answer?
It is a pyramid type bow. Hickory. I shot an arrow at gander mtn and it averaged 158-161fps. I do not remember the arrow weight but I can see how that might make a difference.
Jackcrafty I do not have a spine tester...yet. I can see I need one though. These were spinned by Mike at the nocking point before he sent them to me. It is a 401 grain arrow at 28" and a 125g tip. I can remeasure the arrow weight. I do have a pocket arrow weight gauge.

Holy wuh eh yer making my head hurt, get a arrow that shoots good than make some more that match ;) pretty simple eh :D
JackCrafty:
Sidewinder, the arrow you shot (at Gander Mtn) was probably 500 grains...that means that your bow is shooting at (or above) average for a 57# bow. Average performance would be 157fps with a 570 grain arrow @28" draw with a 57# bow. Since your draw is 26", and you're still getting 157+fps...your bow is most likely too "good" for that arrow you're shooting.
Get a stiffer arrow. ;D
