What!??  No arrows?  There should be a bunch of shrubs for gathering shoots in your area!  Dogwoods should be blooming down there!  Up here, the leaves have just opened, though!  A real dilemma!  Resort to dowel rods, maybe!  Got one arrow?  Shoot, fetch, shoot again!  Very short range, though! (lol)

The one arrow in the bullseye, take it, and shoot it and it only. See if you get similar repeated results. I noticed that one arrow always flies the best. That may be his best arrow. Do the same thing with each arrow, and mark them with an L for left of target and R for right of target, depending on where it lands on target. B for bulls eye. If you have a string of Ls on an arrow after 10 shots, you know the arrow is over spined, and needs work. A string of Rs means under spined and it needs adjusting.

Just something I do with my arrows.

sleek, that is a great idea.  I need to try that--especially since I try very hard to match spine in a set of arrows.  There are so many variables, however, including just variations in the wood, that I might still see some differences.  If they all react the same, then that should tell me something--of course, there are a lot of things that can make you miss left, too--like overgripping the bow, plucking, etc.  hard to eliminate those as well.
