arrow help

[prc]

i dont have much experience in traditional set ups.
i resently got a good deal on a bear grizzly - 45# @ 28.
i have been using some carbon express heritage 90's that i use for another bow with a 175 gr field point.
they dont seem to fly very well, the nock end stays left out to about 15 yards( thats as far as ive shot).
so any help with a starting point would be great. thanks

How long are the arrows? IF they are way long for your draw then start trimming the nock end 1/4 inch at a time. Or you can use lighter tips. Check your DL before you trim though so you dont go to short. I use a cloth pin on the arrow, draw back to full draw , then measure from pin to nock groove. Good luck.

You didn't say how long your draw length is. I shoot 1916's or 2016's with 175 gr pts cut 28.5" bop out of a bear grizzly. I draw 27". I have Heritage 90's and they are too stiff for the grizzly.

my draw is 25 1/2" from nock groove to belly of bow, need about 30" to clear my hand on bow. the heritage 90's are 30 1/4".

With the nock staying left that would normally mean that your arrow is weak ( if you are right handed). Since you cant cut the shafts any more you should try a 125 gr. point.

You could also build out your sideplate,adjust brace height and nock point to get them fine tuned.

Sounds like you may need to lighten the tips or start fresh with a heavier spine.

prc...give us some feed back instead of just TTT..have you tried any of the above suggestions? Did any of them help your arrows fly any better or did it make them fly worse?

[prc]

my first chance to give anything a try will be sunday. i do have some lighter tips to try, not sure about changing the brace hight, i have never tried anything like that. do i need to twist both ends of the string, or could i get by twisting only one side?

i was thinking on getting an arrow test kit from 3 rivers, just not sure what kind of spine to start with.

Do your arrows have plastic vanes or feathers? Solid plastic Vanes could cause a clearance problem and cause the arrow to kick.
