-creep at anchor by some archers (it happens!) causes that '28" draw' to really be a 27 3/4" or 27.5" or 27" etc. LOL. It happens, just sayin.
-individual form, cleanliness of release will affect the efficiency of the bow and bow much energy goes into the arrow.
I think Chucks post here is spot on.... A few other factors i might add is different spine arrows can be corrected to fly really nice with different types of fletching configuration too.
That.... and the definition itself of good arrow flight may be hard to determine for a lot of guys without someone else playing umpire. You can be hitting right where you are looking and miss that first tail wag coming out of the chute pretty easily.
I find myself getting back 40 -50 yards and shooting really helps see your arrow flight a lot better when you are watching your own arrows as you shoot..... and it REALLY shows any inconsistency in your form. :eek:
