Here is my problem, I have a 60" Lost nation custom (an heirloom from my late father, was made by Ray Grenier over 10 years ago). It draws 47#@28 and a take down. 15 strand B-50 string)
The arrows that came with it are the ones my father used and he took game with this bow. They came with full length 35/55 with 175 up front. They won't shoot for me because I draw 30 1/4 inches. So initially I thought the spine is too weak (they showed left on release, and just general poor flight porposing).
The nock height when I got the bow was 3/4 of an inch above shelf, which struck me as really odd. I adjusted the nock height up and down and I've messed with brace height, arrow spines (up and down) weight points ranging from 100-300, bare tuning (the bow kicks arrows left whether weak or stiff, which I though was odd)
I can't get an arrow to fly consistently from this bow, if I short draw it they will fly decent (roughly 26-27 inch draw) but beyond that I get very erradic flight, as well as consistent kicking left issues.
I know form alway's plays a role in arrow tuning, but I've never had issue with any other bow, then again could this just be an extremely critical bow for form? I'm just lost.
I would really like to figure this bow out, as it's special to me. But I'm completely lost at this point, and have never had issue tuning a bow to an arrow. (I've tried bare/3 fletch/4fletch).
Any suggestions, or questions on this topic. Or any specifics I can clarify more let me know. I'll be out for a bit but will be back late tonight to respond, hopefully I can figure this out. Thank you in advance.
May have some finger pinch at that draw. Might affect your release?
Did he shoot 3 under? How about you?
Just throwin some stuff out....
Sure sounds like a weak spine thing. Ha e you tried a stiffer arrow?
Try this...

Is that bow a recurve?
We have a trad shoot at Watanic on Saturday. You should bring the bow.
When Ray owned Lost Nation he was making some nice bows.Never shot one but I got to see them in the shop.
Sorry for the delay, hav'nt been able to get online for a few days. Thanks for the response guys I'll try to catch up.
He shot split finger, I have tried stiffer arrows I've gone to a 340, with various weights and I still am not getting consistent flight. After bare tuning and the 400's and 2117 were showing weak, I went to a a few different 340 and they kicked left as well. That's when I realized something in my form or the bow is kicking all arrows left, even ones way too stiff for the bow.
The bow is a recurve and I'm shooting right handed, I may have left that out.
Barebow17 is the shoot open to the public? I've never gone to a 3d shoot. (well maybe once if I recall when I was about 7)
I sent you a pm on the shoots
