bare shaft again

[Longbowmark]

For what it is worth I used to work at an archery shop and help guys and galls bare shaft test.  Your arrow is under spined.  You want a hunting arrow to shoot slightly left and slightly high nock as a right hand shooter.  Just the opposite for lefties.  When you glue on turkey wing they will fly perfect.

Buck,  

I'm curiuos what your setup is, bow weight, draw length tip weight string material and arrow length.   Also what arrows are you currently shooting and what have you tried.

Dan, my bow is a Mahaska recurve (50's style)45#@25". My arrows are 26" 1916's with 250 grain heads.My string is B-50. I've tried 2016 but I hear them hit the riser.That arrow looks good don't you think?

There you go. Nice shooting!

Be very careful about judging tuning from the angle of an arrow in the target.  This can be EXTREMELY deceiving.

Paper tune or use O.L.'s bare shaft method.

I agree with longbowmark and it also helps on those accidental short draws with weird positions in a hunting shot.

I second scattershot's comments. Right handed shooter hitting to the right = weak spine.
I wouldn't worry about the left/right it will stiffen with the feathers and bring it on target. You do want to lower your nock, unless you preffer to shoot a bit low.

this is why I use the bare shaft method over paper tuning. Take a loot at the picture buck posted above. The "shaft hit" to the right (very little) meaning weak spine. The "nock" right will be eliminated by the feathers. The feathers will and did fix the issue. Look how straight the feathered arrow is. Now if you were trying to judge using nock point in relation to were the tip went, you would say the spine is stiff and you would be scratching your head wondering why the heavier spined arrows aren't fixing the issue.

[BUCKY]

I guess I'm tuned.Thanks for your help.

[SCATTERSHOT]

Too bad about all the confusion. Should have been a simple fix. Arrow right, weak spine. Minimal right impact is cured with fletching.If you need any further info, go to O.L. Adcock's website and take a look at his bow tuning section.

Good luck!
