First wood arrow (shaft) - to be a flu flu nutter

<< < (2/6) > >>

Russ:
Ok, I cut an inch off and it just got worse…. I thought that cutting an inch off would stiffen the spine… does it not?? Or does nock to the left mean the spine is too stiff????

Pat B:
Did you cut the self nock to allow the stiff side of the arrow to go against the bow?
 There is some very good arrow info by Art Butner(artcher1) in the notebook I sent you.

No i did not... Ill go ahead and do that. Is it ok even if the nock ends up with the grain?

Edit: actually by complete sheer luck i did!!!


ill go ahead and take a look at the notebook again.

Russ:
I just realized that my target is layered foam. when it hits the target, the foam will drag it with "the grain" of the foam. thats why it looked so weak when it wasnt. but now i guess bare shaft tuning is out of the question... maybe i could try one of the sides of my target??? well see...

Russ:
This is where I’m going to stop and say it’s good enough. Learn from these mistakes and do better on the next arrow. Now to taper the tip, put the nut on, and figure out how to fletch flu flu’s
