Title: Where do arrows hit realtive to a bow and the arrows orrientation(tuned)?
Post by: Dartwick on January 06, 2009, 12:36:00 PM
If you have your set up tuned and your unfletched arrows are hitting is essentially the same place as you fletched arrows - where are they hitting relative to the bow?(Im talking strictly horizontal.)

Is it straight out along the arrows axis
Is it in line  with the center of the bow and the string?
Is it random?

Thanks

They should be hitting where you are looking???

Not trying to be toooo sarcastic, we each old a bow a little different, and some bows are cut different.


ie: a longbow that is not cut to center. If a right handed bow, nock the arrow and it will point out to the left, but when drawn and looking straight down the arrow that is where it is going to go if propperly tuned and released>>>

hope this helps ya

You look where the bow shoots hopefully. But the natural orientation of the arrow doesnt have anything to do with where you look.

I guess your saying its random.

I believe it is where you are looking(arrow pointing) at full draw. At brace I don't think it matters that much as long as it is within reason.

Yep, tuned arrows will go where they are pointed...That may or may not be where you are "looking"!  :) ...O.L.
