Bare shafts group well with fletched so I am running with it. To be honest I hate tuning, I get really frustrated and begin to doubt everything I am doing!
Good luck sorting it out.
Dude no kidding, I was doing well til I got another bow and wanted to make them shoot the same. with a bellymount that I made, I cut it to center... was doing fine, or so I thought. Got a new ILF type rig, used a bolt for a plunger bc I was hitting way right with its flipper rest and had to put the strike plate at 5/16" set up 5# lighter to get a decent bareshaft...
Anyway, what got me going was the fact that the new rig shot like 4-6" right of the old one. I figured, well, must be either underspined or just used to aiming more left like a longbow shooter who goes to a curve for the first time... So I said lets bare shaft-- and here came the doubt/problem. Problem: even with my old rig now its showing weak, like 6" right of fletched shafts weak at 18yds, noticeable kick to right. UGH... I may drop point weight and put a wrap on some bare shafts and see if it helps any. If not, I'll have to start cutting down 1/8 at a time or get new shafts.
I have heard about rigs like yours though, where extremely high FOC does unusual stuff when tuning, sometimes to your benefit. Thanks for the replies.
