Post by: ks.bowhunter on May 01, 2010, 01:07:00 PM
Keep in mind, i am shooting left handed.All arrows 30 inches with feathers,shooting off the shelf,shooting 10 yards indoors.
 2213 aluminum hitting where i aim,11/32 wooden shafts hit a few inches to the right.Bare wood shaft hits with the nock end high.Have not triede a bare aluminum.My bow is 45 pounds at 28 am drawing closer to 29.Are the woods to weak of a spine? Thanks in advance.

Arrows hitting to the right for a left handed shooter are too stiff.  What is the spine of your wood shafts?  Ten yards won't give the best reading, try 15 or 20 yards outside.

Ditto what Folsom said.

I shoot LH, 30" arrows, off the shelf - arrows landing to the right of  POA are stiff - as are arrows that land nock left (if you are using a suitable target butt).

Paper tuning would also provide some more insight as to how the arrows are performing out of your bow.  I have found it to be a useful method once I am closing in on the correct spine.

Shoot straight, Shinken

The shafts were spined for 45 if i remember right.They average around 540 grains using 125 grain points.Thanks for the input.

try different weight points and see how it effects them.
