arrow flight question

[cnorth]

I am shooting a tolke whip 28" at 50 lbs...
 I am shooting 175gr bh with a 50 gr insert.. On flight the back of the arrow looks as though that it is flying higher then the front end..Nock setting is about 3/4 inch above shelf.. Any suggestions??

Have you bareshaft tested?

Ah Yes, another "Whip"-er!

Are you seeing porpoising or does the arrow just appear to be flying tail-high?  First, I would suggest having someone stand behind you and to the side a bit and watch the arrow when you shoot.  This will give another perspective and eliminate the chance that you might be peeking a bit because you think that the arrow isn't flying right, and peeking would throw off your form.  Second, as mentioned about, I would paper tune AND bareshaft test.  Or you could try putting on a broadhead and compare broadheads to field points.  The broadhead would exaggerate any flight issues that you might be having.  Best of Luck,

whats your arrow spine? weak spine often flies high left

I had the same problem until I learned that three under required a mutch higher nock point.  I had video that showed how the back of the arrow would get bumped up form the shelf when the nock point was too low.  

3/4" should do it but from what you are seeing, I woul go higher on the nocking point.

thanks all for the replies.. I have my broadhead and field points flying the same out to 25.. It just looks as thought the tail is still kicking high.. I will have somebody watch it for me...

Are you meaning how it flies?  vs where it hits the target?  For right hand shooters weak is right of aim point in the target.
