What is considered “good enough” when it comes to bare shafting?

Moved up to 300 grains total tip weight. Might try 325 and see what that does. Also, after reading the above article I moved back to 18-20 yards. I’d say we’re getting there.

I like my bare shafts to fly perfect at 20yds, if the feathers get soaked or i lose a feather or whatever happens my arrows always fly perfect,  but another thing is if your ever having accuracy issues always break out the bare the bare shaft to see what your doing wrong by the that nock in flight,,  it always corrects me if im putting my elbow too high at full draw because it will show a nock high immediately out of the bow.   

So your on the right track slow and steady.

I felt like my results were super inconsistent not only in the spine calculator but in the results on the target. Re set up the bow, new strike plate and rest. Actually took some measurements and learned that the center shot data in the three rivers calculator is off for this bow. When I put the correct measurements in everything looks good there.  I’m happy with 300ish grains out front. 20+foc. I plan to shoot 185 grain eskimos out of this set up, they seem to be flying good. The quiver really makes me torque this short bow. If your form is out she tells on you really quick. It’s gonna take some practice but I think I’ll get it.

Also, I read about measuring draw length when you’re actually shooting. That made a difference. Turns out I’m not a 29 inch draw super hero - just a regular Joe with a 28 inch draw. Haha.

My 2 cents ........... 400 spine ain't happening.
500 is your spine.   A 500 cut to 29.75 with 200 grains of target point.  You will be able to go a little heavier with your broadhead,  say 225 .......... you will get excellent flight set up like this.
Your bare shaft will be right on to at least 20 yards with this,  providing your bow is set up correctly.

200 grain points and 100 grain inserts for a total of 300 grains, that's why I'm running the stiffer shaft.

I shoot 3 fletched shafts and 2 bare shafts all summer. My target is a plastic golf ball until September. When I hit the ball the same number of times with the bare shafts as with the fletched I'm good.
