Title: What does this mean??
Post by: Bakes168 on September 12, 2008, 02:01:00 PM
I bare-shafted one of my woddies yesterday and the 125gr. point was in the bullseye but the nock went WAY right. This happened several times, I was shooting from about 10 yards.
Help anyone???

rt/lt handed?  target material?  bad release?  Any number of things..

Read and folloe OL's method, and use at least 3 arrows bare, and 3 arrows fletched.... and use the majority of each as the indicator.

if something wasn't right (form), you might be making the wrong fix.

I'm right handed, horizontally foam layered target, could be bad release.

What's OL's method, where do I read it??

It could be that the shaft is overspined if all else is correct ----- including release.

it means you need fletching....

Sorry, I couldn't resist.  :)

It means the shaft is too stiff, need a longer shaft or heavier point

Valid points, but you still should base tuning on more than one arrow's flight.

if bare shaft hits where fletched arrow hits you're good to go..if bare shaft hits high-raise nock point,if shaft hits to left either use thinner side plate or heavier tip
