Title: Arrow flight ?
Post by: Tom L on October 21, 2008, 10:40:00 PM

I am shooting a Dwyer Dauntless 53# @28" I draw 27". I am shooting GT Trads 5575 full length with a 250gr point. They hit right where I am looking every time. But sometimes I see nock right in flight. It does not effect where they hit the target this is the best shooting setup I have ever had just see this nock right every now and then. Am I just being to picky? What should I do? How could I tune this out?

Yes! Wish I had the same problem. And being I can't achieve better results, I will forgo any advice, and watch for others.

If you're only seeing it now and than...it may be one of 2 things. Your form isn't totally consistant everytime or the arrow's spine aren't consistant from one arrow to the next.

Number each one of your arrows to see if there are certain ones that consistantly give you the nock right flight.

Being on the edge of over or under spined will cause exactly that also. What tuning method did you use?....O.L.

Even leaving them full length, and 250 up front those shafts are too stiff even though they show weak once in a while.  I think you'll do much better with 35-55's

What OL said, sounds like you are right on the edge, try droping and or raising your brase hight 1/8", it might bring it right in

I would think if he is right on the edge and not getting a consistant reading...his form isn't totally consistant which would explain why some are good and some are not.

If he's that close than that may be as good as he can get unless he first fixes the inconsistantcies in his form.

Or are you guys saying that since he's so close even if his form is consistant he will still get a few arrows that will kick and give different readings than the others?

Whatchya guys think?

first things first, your arrows are two stiff. even at full length. go to a 35/55. second, make sure youre not getting any fletching interference, make sure the quills arent hitting the shelf. third, and most important, make sure your release is clean and consistent.
