This morning I shot my Bob Lee Ultimate with 56" limbs and also my current go to hunting bow, a 58" Blacktail Sitka recurve. I already have an arrow/point combo for the BT that shoots darts.
The arrow I wanted to use is the one I shoot out of this 44# blacktail. The Bob Lee is about 46# at my draw 26" length. The arrow is an Easton Deep Six Injexion - very narrow carbon inside aluminum shaft - Deep Six FMJ.
At 12 yards (indoors at home) the Bob L (56" curve) was kicking arrows right 4". Then I set up my cardboard box paper tuning frame (quick and dirty). The Blacktail shoots bullet holes at 6'. The BL was tearing left and low. (shooting fletched shafts)
I like to tune with arrows and weight. So, replaced the Injexion with a Beeman Classic in 600 spine (less stiff than the 460 Inj.). Put a 125 field point on. still tore left but not as much. Then I went to a 155 and there it was, a perfectly vertical tear (low). I tried a 200 grain FP and sure enough it was a right tear... too much correction. Back to the 155. Now I just need to move my NP up about 1/8".
Before I change the NP II will also try a 200 grain FP on the Injexion to see if that gets me the same result as I got with the Beeman.
It pays to hang on to various arrows and point combinations.
I'm glad this worked because if not I would have to have tinkered with side plate and or strings. I have much less success with that method. I know I could also cut shafts longer but that is a very last resort for me. I like my arrows 27" and sometimes 28" but never longer than that.
