so, you checked the spine all around and found little difference. So it's not a spine issue. Have you refletched?

I haven't refletched. When I get this far into an arrow problem I would rather throw it out than refletch. I've got more sticks than I have feathers and I would hate to refletch and find I still have a problem. I don't learn anything with that attitude but sometimes you have to put a limit on things. I may change my attitude with this one but I'll have to think about it.
One other thing I'm not sure off is the offset of the fletch. I have left wing feathers on it and they are offset. Looking from the nock end the front of the fletch is to the left. Is that right or have I got the offset backward?

Hi Chris, good to see you're still around!

Well DC, if all the others are bamboo and you're shooting one hemlock, then perhaps the boos group differently than the hemlock. Nothing more than that perhaps. I certainly won't trash it. May shoot perfect out of another bow. Is your hemlock shaft well seasoned?

Yes it's well seasoned. A couple of years as 1/2"x 1/2".
Good point PD. On the way to the garbage can I may as well bare shaft it and see.

I've actually shot it from a couple or three bows and it shoots high on all of them.
