A little help please...............
« on: October 04, 2011, 10:19:00 AM »
Working at tuning my Woodcraft 30#@28" longbow.

After stopping the porpusing by finding the right brace height - 7" approx. and nock height 3/8"- I am getting reasonable arrow flight. I bought a few 1816 target arrows for this setup.

The arrows are hitting left of aim point consistently. I am not sure that this is due to arrow spine or brace height. Thoughts from the experts????

How long are your arrows cut BOP (back of point) and what is the point weight?

without knowing anything else i would try going up in point weight and see what happens....

if you change your brace height then do it after or before you change point weight. aka only change one thing at a time.

Can, you are overspined. When I practice strictly form I sometimes use a 32# LB. I shoot a 28.75" 1713 arrow with 125 gr. points. That is right at the verge of being stiff. you may even need 1616 arrows. Plug everything into Stu Millers and see what you come up with. If you want pm me your draw length, and the cut of your bow( to center) and I will run it for you.
