Arrow woes

(1/2) > >>

I just made up some bamboo arrows. I bare shaft shot them at 10 yards, took the ones that were inside a 5 inch group, and fletcher them. Then shot them with good flight. Then I put broad heads on them and the arrows won't hit straight, they wag through the air, hitting with nock left and right. The broadheads are around 25 grains heavier than the field points if that helps at all.

Pat B:
Adding 25 grains up front will make the arrow fly like it is spined 5# lighter spine.

Thanks Pat. I will go out there and short draw it  and increase the draw one inch at a time to find its sweet spot, then mark each arrow that  way.

bjrogg:
If you have the extra length you could try shortening them a little bit at a time till you got good flight. That would stiffen the spine back up.

Pat B:
Don't adjust your draw to suit the arrow, adjust your arrow to suit your bow and your style of shooting.
