Tuning trouble

BowEd:
Impact point is the key like said compared to fletched arrows.First at 10 yards then out to 20 yards.
Impact too low/too high of nock point.Imapct too high/too low of nock point on string.
For right handed shooter impact to the left of fletched arrows too stiff.Impact to the right of fletched arrows too weak.Exact opposite for a left handed shooter.
No fish tailing or porposing whatsoever.Flying like a dart.
To really see how identical they are go out to 40 yards if you want,being consistent with your draw length also.
The little tag to the left or right upon impact can be straightened out with fletching.
I shoot all wooden arrows,but compare mine to carbons all the time.

What bownarra said. Those shafts are way too stiff. Try 600s maybe even 700s. Good luck

I'd try 500 spine left full length or 600 cut to just over 30". 125 grain points.

Spot on. I draw 28" and shoot full length 500 spine arrows with ~100gr points. They don't fly right until I shoot 40+lb draw weights at least and work well up to 50#. OP should be close to in the ballpark with 500 spine and can fine tune from there.

340 spine is something that wheelie bow shooters would use, not a trad archer with a moderate 42# bow.

   ok my approach is not very scientific,, I have alot of arrows,, so I just try different ones till i find one that shoots well,,
Im not good at bare shafting,, but I would recommend finding a fletched arrow that shoots well, ,and then bare shaft if needed,,
I have seen test kits with several spined arrows you could try,, they were wood,, but that is what I would shoot out of a wood bow anyway,,
    even the way you hold your bow is gonna effect arrow flight,, if you are just starting,, it may take a while before your testing is consistant,, the better your form,, the wider range of spine you can shoot,, etc etc etc,,
