Given up on arrow making
DC:
This is odd. I was just telling my grandson that arrows always fly better with fletching :D. Do the arrows bob and weave or do they appear to fly straight, just not arriving at the right spot ;)
PS Maybe it's something to do with the broadhead. Did you bare shaft with the broadhead on? I know nothing about broadheads.
DC:
I've been thinking. I used to spend a lot of time trying to get arrows to fly right. I finally gave up. They either fly well or they don't except for one thing I found. If you have a slight bend in the arrow in the fletching area, or just in front of it, they fly like crap and it's hard to see when you sight down the arrow. I doubt that all your arrows are like that but it's worth a look. I can also see where they might fly OK bare shaft with that little bend and then go down the tube with fletching. Just a thought. :)
Fox:
Thats a reall good point about the bend at the end of the arrow DC, ill go look... id be suprissed if that was the problem with all of them...and they dont fly stright there really sporatic... im thinking i could have given them too much helical twist, and it may be uneven between all of the feathers.
paulc:
Change fetching on one...see what happens. I just this am did a 2 feather fletch w electric tape. Took 10 minutes and 8 was shooting to see how it flew...
Fwiw
mullet:
Did you Bare shaft shoot them with the same weight point as those broadheads.
