Here is my group at 15 yrds with fletched and bare shafts. Is this close enough? I am about to pull my hair out.

That is about perfect, ya want the bareshaft to show a bit weak as when ya fletch them up and add a broadhead it will stiffen them just a bit. Ya may of had one flyer with the bareshaft above the bullseye. I always want my bareshafts to be a bit right of my fletched. Shawn

They are a matched set. I just messed around with different stains.

I agree it looks pretty good. As Shawn stated, you want them to bareshaft just a tad weak.

If they were mine I'd fletch em & be done with it.

If you are right handed then you are good to try some broadheads.

Have you tried shooting at 20-25 yards? Differences are magnified by distance. Looks awfully good at 15 yards.

I now know what a "ball of feathers to the target" looks like.

I would pull and shoot again the 2 arrows with extreme nock left to verify arrow or release. If indeed the arrow is the problem, I'd pull them out of the mix. Those 2 arrows would have missed the target at 20yds.
The remainder look very good.

I think he is using the planing method and not nock orientation. It is very hard to use nock position unless you have a real consistent material to shoot in to and those bag targets are anything but consistent. Fletch'em up and go kill something! Shawn
