Sometimes tuning arrows can be frustrating to me. There are so many things that can affect arrow flight I.e. arrow length, tip weight, insert weight, arrow spine, bow poundage, brace height, shelf position, draw length etc. the dynamic spine calculator on 3 rivers is a great resource and usually puts me in the ballpark. Other times when tuning different arrows or weights/lengths I’ll get inconsistent groups despite what appears to be straight shooting arrows.
Fortunately the slow-mo video has done a lot to help me see the flaws in my arrow fight. A slight under/over spined arrow can escape my naked eye. Slow mo helps me get that last little bit. Other than that I just think it’s cool to see the arrow bend and twist in slow motion. My intent for this thread is encourage others to video their arrow flight and be honest with their arrow tune. A straight flying arrow is invaluable to killing deer with a traditional bow and it makes shooting so much more fun.
If you’re getting frustrated with accuracy and you have a semi developed form, let’s check out your arrow in slow motion to see if it can be contributing. If you have perfect arrow flight, share that with us too. I have a little phone stand I use, I’ll prop it up and also get my wife to video the shot sometimes.
Here are some recent ones I did to help me to get my arrows dialed in.
