Seems like an awful heavy arrow, what poundage is the bow.
Keep the wind in your face and the sun at your back.

With that arrow weight and speed, you won't have any penetration problems. Trust me on that.

You lost a little efficiency by not matching you front, side and drawn profiles. But you can work on that for your next one.

If you have to grip your bow loose for good arrow flight, string alignment is off. Or the limbs are twisting on your as you draw the bow. Minor lateral adjustments can be made on a finished bow by warming the area that needs correcting, then placed in a padded vise, and then gently correct that limb. Best of luck......Art

Thanks Art.  The grip is a little off because of a chunk of wood that went AWOL during the splitting process.  It makes me have to grip it with the heel of my hand further left than I am used to.  I am getting great arrow flight now.
Razor,
The bow is 50 @27.  Those arrows are some sugar maple arrows I made up for my 65 lb. beast.  I haven't got around to making any up for this particular bow.  They sure shoot good though..slow but straight.
Got the camera back and I'll try to get some good pics.

And here they are:
 
 
Blessed be the Lord my strength; which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight.
