Just wondering if this is good enough or do i need to tune a little more there is a bare shaft in the group of fletched arrows first time I tried OL method done at about 19 yards

What? No Robinhood. I would be ashamed!!!!

Can you get them a little tighter,I like my fletching to get ripped off.As you can see in my avatar :thumbsup:
Excellent! I, too, like using the method of tuning as described by Adcock. :readit: :thumbsup:
Backup to 30 yards and shoot. I bet they are a fuzz stiff,if you are a righty, but you're not gonna get much closer. That's some fine shooting.
the two bare ones up top look a bit tail high?? Or is that just the camera angle?
I don't know how far out your are. It looks pretty good. Your a little week but the fletching will cure that. I would say you are a tad knock high though. Good shooting though
fletch the rest and shoot them.
Keep working at it. You'll get them in there.
I wish I could group them that good.
Honest question....
What could you possibly gain by tweaking them further....for targets? And....if you shoot groups like that all the time....I'm in awe.
Hey yall i am not try to be a smart butt I just didnt know if thats what you are looking for when you do OL Method I didnt know how close they need to be.Philip
Unless you stabbed the arrows in the target with your hand I'd say your doing pretty good. Nice shootin.
Well a lot of people say you should be low and weak with your bare shafts so you have your nock too high and you're too stiff. I would probably just shoot them that way. What you really need to do now is shoot BH's and see what they say.
Yes, try some broadheads. If they shoot that good leave it alone.

When using the method as outlined by O.L. Adcock, you go by how your bare shafts group in relation to your fletched arrows instead of how your nocks are positioned in the target. Also, what your target is made of has an effect on how your nock position is in the target butt.
that just might work :bigsmyl: :clapper:
This is 19 yards?
Unless you plan on taking 50 yard plus shots while hunting leave it alone! It is more than good enough!
Great shooting!
Most "tweak" and "tune" until they are blue in the face and never shoot that good!
Go hunting!
Leave it alone, fletch the rest, and SHOOT!!
If I could do that EVERY time at 19-20 yds,I'd be a happy man.
Well, I'd say if they hit where you were lookin then fletch'em up and go huntin, thats some fine shootin!!
Fletch 'em and hunt!
better than my groups on a good day.
:notworthy: Great shooting I also would try broadheads. Good job
I would be very happy with that result!
Arrows are good, but I'd lower the nockpoint, just a tad.. I guess broadheads should correct the slight stiffness..
For shooting groups like that, I would have to see some proof that changing anything would be better???? Great shooting
Well unless spotteddog is left handed, I see a little nock high and slightly weak...which will make for a very forgiving arrow when fletched...plus they're all hitting together so, it looks to me like you're good to go...
If this is what they're consistently doing, I wouldn't change a thing....
But maybe just tweak the nock a little lower to see if they come in a bit flatter...
Fine for shooting targets just like it is.I would up the point weight a little if hunting.When mine comes out like that useing 125gn points I shoot 3d just like it is and use 175gn points for hunting.50 gns will weaken the spine about right so they won't be stiff.That tune at 50yds will put your bareshafts left of center over 6".If you short draw any at all like happens when you hunt they will fly left with broadheads. jmho
Kepp practicing....you'll get there
That's excellent shooting. Not trusting my memory I checked O.L.'s tuning guide and according to that bare shafts to the left of the fletched shafts mean they are stiff. That is if you are a right hand shooter. If anything the bare shafts should be slightly to the right, which shows weak. Feathers would stiffen them up. You're close enough that you could just not do anymore bare shaft tuning and move on to tuning fletched shafts with broadheads.
Fletch them up!
Excellent Group!! Did I Miss the Distance they were Shot From somewhere??
doesnt count....shoulda taken that one step back and made it 20yds
Don't sweat it: we all get a couple of fliers like that now and then.
I agree with Robert - Broadheads will tell the story you really want to see...

:knothead: :bigsmyl: , duh, the fletched shafts in the picture would have been my clue :biglaugh: , I normally do both at the same time! Is that bad :eek: :confused:
Well - you are kidding me ? 19 yards and you can cover the group with your hand ? You are a exellent marksman!!
Uh, Dude? I see a little light between the arrows. Keep trying! Someday, all that practice will pay off with a tight grouping.
i wish i could get that aaaawsome of grouping at 10-13yrds great testing good results !
I would be embarrassed to put a picture on TradGang of any group I shot that was so spread out. Shame on you. :bigsmyl: :archer: :clapper:

You are doing something wrong! I need to teach you how to shoot. Those arrows are too close together, you need to spread them out better like I do.
