Recovery time
DC:
How far does it take for a well sorted out arrow to settle down? Ball park?
Pat B:
I don't understand your question. ???
Beba:
Viewing paradox as the arrow must bend in order to fly straight, about 16 yds. The variables of shaft material, fletching, tuning and form can affect how how long it takes the arrow to stabilize.

Sorry I guess stabilise is the better word. After bending around the bow how far does the arrow have to travel before it's going straight?
Pat B:
Recovery time depends on the material used. Cane arrows seem to recover quicker than hardwood shoots and even commercial wood shafting. Quicker recovery shortens that distance. If you look at slow motion videos of archers paradox you will see the arrow is still trying to recover even as it hits the target.
Point weight and fletching size and style also play a part. I think folks use a 10 yard mark to bare shaft test arrows so maybe that is a simple answer to your question.
