Can I get a lil' help? Here are my specs:
My draw = 28"
29.5" CE 350's with 50g inserts and 200g heads, total arrow weight 630g
57# recurve at 28"
Tiller even
Nock point 3/16"
Shooting at 20 yards my fletched shafts hit where I aim. Bare shafts consistently 9" to the right. Bare shafts nock end kicks hard to the left upon leaving the bow. This indicates to me that my shafts are weak, however, I find that hard to believe. Is it possible that I'm getting a false weak indication due to the arrows being much too stiff?
Thanks, sgrogg
change point weight and shoot again...
Sounds stiff, shaft bouncing off riser. The CE 350 is a 320 spine I believe.
Going lower and higher in point weight didn't help. Seems like the 200 g point is as good as it gets. I set up my arrows using Stu's calculator.
I experimented with nock point too. It likes a very low nock point, 1/8". It's ILF and the tiller is set to even. Thanks.
Nock fit???
nock fit's OK
What is make of recurve some have more center shot than others..Dave
I just got 5 Dozen of the 350's. Im shooting a 30 1/2" BOP arrow with a 260 tip, and a 100 brass insert. Total weight of 750 Grains. They fly great. I shoot the same arrow out of all of the bows listed below. Hope this helps
What is your rest material? If it's leather that could be the problem. Carbon arrows have the habit of bouncing on leather. Try velcro or a hair rest. I was having the same problem, Mike Fedora suggested(insisted) that I try a hair rest. It worked great. Also, hold the bow vertical when you bare shaft test, it makes it easier to see high-low and left-right.

Years ago, I didn't know that... man did that make things easier...
Shootin CX Heritage 350's out of my Whippenstick Firestorm 57#-58# @ my draw arrows 30'' 175 grain Tip, flies like a dart, hits with a ton, total arrow wt. about 600 grn ...
Thanks guys for all the responses. My rest is velcro and I've experimented a bit with moving it out.
I am holding my bow vertically. Maybe it's my release. Hmmm??
Have you tried raising your nock point. I shoot mine at 1/2"
