Title: arrow tuning???
Post by: gobblengrunt on October 02, 2007, 09:44:00 PM
why are the nocks of my bare shafts pointed up in relation to the flechted shafts? just started shooting about 8 weeks ago having to learn as I go!     http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/tmartin86/P1010245.jpg    (http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/tmartin86/P1010246.jpg)   (http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/tmartin86/P1010248.jpg)

Generally, a nock-high arrow means your nock point is high -- but there are other things that might cause that.

Your bareshafts seem to impact a bit lower than your fletched shafts; that's a more reliable high nock point indicator -- but shoot more groups at varying distances before you decide that's the situation.

FWIW: some like their bareshafts to show a little bit nock high.

Maybe it's the photo but your bare and fletched shafts should be identical other then the fletching. Looks like different shafts and nocks?? Don't worry about the shaft angle, only the relationship between the groups...O.L.
