fishtailing

[samickhunter]

g'day all

i have been running some st excels 400 in my 50lb recurve although they seem to be very accurate with 100gr and 125gr tips they tend to fish tail the shafts are 29" long
any ideas to help out

cheers mick

print this out and work through it its worth the time and effort.

If that's a .400 spine arrow I'd say they are too stiff for your bow; they could be kicking off the sight window.  Try a .500 spine.

Agree. Arrows are too stiff.

or you could try using some 200/250grn points to help weaken the arrows you already have.
