I can relate.Man y’all are getting me all screwed up. I have shot these at full length.... I also shot 500 spine and could not get them to fly well with anything other than 150 up front. I wrote down the combination that flew well but I wanted to add more weight which is why I was planning on cutting them down...
Since I’m now second guessing the full day of shooting I did Sunday I guess it’s back to the drawing board again. I will shoot them again today and see where I got confused...
I’ve been fooling with trying to tune arrows to this bow for so long now I’m getting sick of it. I have successfully bareshaft tuned arrows to this bow but they were lighter than I want for my traditional set up.
I’m probably getting my arrows mixed up. I was tuning 3 bows this past weekend and it started getting hard to keep track.
I’ll get myself squared away and report back in a happier mood.
Rant over.
I had a decent arrow build for the last um-teen years, but I wanted it to be better. So this summer I went the UEFOC route. Every time I thought I was making headway, something would set me backward. I was getting frustrated.
Then I tried a few things that were unconventional for me... I turned my nocks so I was shooting the cock feather at 12 o'clock and it was better. Then someone mentioned that Tom Clum shoots his cock feather at THREE O'CLOCK, which sounds crazy for a right hander, but I decided to try it and my arrow shot even better. Then I raised my nocking point higher than I've ever had it and it shot great.
But then I had an arrow with a nock that was a little loose on the string. It seemed acceptable for tightness but the arrow kicked a little so I put an unaltered nock on that arrow. This sucker snaps onto the string tighter that all the experts say is correct. The arrow now shoots perfect.
The moral of the story...sometimes the "accepted" way is not the right way.
