Arrow shooting to the right

<< < (2/2)

GlisGlis:
+1 on the brace height
try a shorter string or lesser spined arrows
I guess you'll find your target again

This is a problem right here, but shooting right I would tend to favor under spined. Left over spines. Nothing you can do to stiffen the spine but lighten the point, or cut it shorter. The arrow will gain 5# of spine for each inch you cut off and every 25 grains removed from the point.

You have 2 cuts you can make to shorten the arrow and possible bring it up in spine. No mention of the arrow head weight.

Thanks all for the insightful tips! Sorry it's been a bit, the farm has really picked up and I've been so busy that I completely forgot to come back here with a check in. (Since then we've had 3 calves born and put several thousand plants in the hight tunnels and ground).

Anywho! I shortened my string up quite a bit and it pulled that arrow right back into where it was supposed to go.

Since then I've made up some more shafts, and fletched a couple of them. Right now I only have pheasant tailfeathers to work with, but I'm loving the way they fly and how quiet they are. I'm planning to do an experiment with 2 vs 3 feathers, but I'm definitely liking the way that the 2 feather style stacks together.

I've even knapped my first arrowhead from flint I found in Ohio's Flint Ridge.

I'll make sure to come back and update with some pics once I have everything squared away!
