Arrow trajectory question
«

November 25, 2008, 04:46:00 PM »
I shoot right handed, off the hand and have solved the vertical flight problems I've been having.
Still having problems horizontally - the fletching is leaning toward the left. This happens after the paradox.
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe sounds like a little too soft of spine. Try drawing just a little less just to see if it goes away. If it does go away that's it. For permanent solutions you can put on more silencers on the string to slow down the bow and the high left should go away. Or you can cut down the arrows, if that is in fact what it is. Make sure you know for sure before you cut anything. I don't want to get into trouble here

Thanks that's what I was thinking.
My setup was MFX 500 125gr head, nocked 1/2" above center, drawn 29", bow feels like 50-60# - really need to weigh it.

It might be hard to cut those arrows down to the bows weight if they have those hit inserts.

Artifaker1's suggestion is about as good as you're going to get, given the information you have. It's just so hard to figure anything out based on the flight of a fletched arrow. Have you considered bare shaft testing?

Yep, I'd like to bareshaft. Right now I don't have the funds to work up the carbons properly, only have one. Hopefully in the future. Woodies will have to hold me over 'till then. Still can't believe that little carbon flexes so much.

Oh ya; you can also put weight tubes in those arrows and that will slow down the bow but increase efficiency (they seem to bend more with wieght tubes though). And for target shooting you can go to a 100 grain tip and that will stiffen up the arrow more. For hunting "they" now recommend keeping a ton of weight up front.
