Pappy:
I bare shaft starting at 5 yards, not sure what it would look like in slow motion but when tuned correct my arrows are straight at the point. I would think if tuned right the are straight as soon as they completely clear the bow, 16 yards seem like a bunch to me, if my arrows are not straight by then I am going to see it, all I want to see is nock. JMO. ;)

But the other side of the coin is that if it was well damped it might not flex quick enough when loosed and would thus act as if it was too stiff.

Hmm, only if the dampening was achieved by thickness and mass. I don't see how removing thickness or mass in a flight arrow could increase stiffness.
dampening and reducing mass together might have potential

Thanks Scyth. Up until I posted this I had it totally wrong. I thought that a limp arrow was bending away from the bow too much. That left a few questions unanswered. Now that I see this progression from stiff to limp I can see that it's the opposite. It's the first bend, the one apparently caused by the string rolling off your fingers. that seems to be the culprit. The more the arrow bends, the more it smacks into the bow. This kicks the back of the arrow to the left and the rest is history. It leaves me wondering how stiff arrows behave and why they kick right. It's strange that it's stiff arrows that make the noise. I'll try and read the PDF you posted but my mind glazes over when I see math symbols.
