Title: Does this make sense?
Post by: nhbuck1 on June 28, 2016, 04:24:00 PM
I am getting good bareshaft and arrow flight from 150 grains to 225 grains, does this make sense?

I'd say that if that's what's happening, then it makes perfect sense.

i didnt know if you would be able to shoot that big of a range of heads.

ok so 145 was showing a tad stiff and the 225 was showing weak so i would say 160- 200 would be my head choices 175 seems to fly the best. So im not crazy no wonder i was having such a hard time deciding what points to use, i thought you had to use whatever tunes and didnt know that big of a range would all fly good. Anyone else have this issue lol?

I'm dealing with the same thing right now! I'm shooting Easton 2018s and 125 and 145gr points seam to be flying the same out of my bow. I definitely don't have my mind rapped around all the particulars, but as I understand it, the more centershot the bow, the wider the range for good tuning.

"the more centershot the bow, the wider the range for good tuning".  You said it perfectly.

It's not an issue.  It's a benefit.  Most bows will handle a range of spines.  The more centershot, the more you can overspine and the larger the range gets.

Be happy you have a easy to tune bow. From what I see on this site most are not these days. Love wide range easy to tune bows.

That's one of the best ones I've seen in a while.  I couldn't agree more.  :^)

What do you mean the more center shot the more you can over spine?

The cut out on the riser shelf is cut past or at the true center of the bow. Meaning your arrow flexes less going around the riser when shot. Many long bows are not cut to center and the arrow has to flex around the riser and return straight requiring a lot more critical tuning.
