barrel rolling
« on: September 02, 2008, 11:08:32 pm »
Hey guys what will cause an arrow to barrel roll when shot? I was shootin tonite and my new arrows would barrel roll nock high and right.By the way I'm left handed. I think they are a little to heavy a spine but what about the whole roll deal?

When I have had this problem I have figured it was a fletch problem.    Kenneth

Did you mix up the left/right wing thing? :o    I had a sourwood shoot arrow that struck a rock straight on. There was no physical damage to the arrow but it never shot well again. It looked like a propeller going down range. ;D

Spin test the arrow. Your tips might be out of alignment.  It makes them roll bad.  Justin
