Title: bare shafts group low
Post by: Rick James on July 19, 2009, 06:56:00 PM
Have any of ya'll had to adjust your nock point down very low like 1/8" above horizontal in order to get bare shafts to group up and down wise with fletched shafts--It seems I have to go this low to get them to start group right vertically but at about the same point it seems that the fletched shafts start wanting to hit a little high. Howard Hill Wesley Special 66" 58#@ 28"...thanks Rick

I may be wrong....but I think your bare shafts hitting directly low of your fletched shafts......is completely normal.

What he said. As long as it's not too extreme. Also, I might add, just a tad right and low is even better, for a right handed shooter. After fletching is added, the arrow becomes a little stiffer.

Never had that problem but I bare shaft tune for shaft flight, not point of impact.

You are good if there just a little low.

To each his/her own, but I like bareshafting to point of impact the best, at least for me. Check out this link from bowmaker O.L. Adcock's site and click on "bow tuning" once you're there:

Read it thoroughly, then read it again. It's the most in-depth guide on the subject I've seen, and it works great.

Rick I got the coolest introductory line for you.  I can't say it on here though.
