Bare shafting...gotta be me.

[MnFn]

I am betting on form issues. In my own experience, one year as I was practicing I noticed my arrows were showing weak. I normally shoot around 60# spine. That year I could not get rid my arrows showing weak until I borrowed some 80/85 spined Surewoods from a friend. I was torquing the bow ( and pretty darn consistent at that).

I think I really noticed it when I was shooting  out to 30 yards.
Once I figured that out and watched my form more closely, I was able to return to shooting my normal spine range of 60/65.

I can't imagine trying to bare shaft tune woodies with the difference in spine stiffness you get from one arrow to the next.  Are you checking these shafts with a spine tester, and matching them up first?   I think i'd try putting fletching on what you have and do some more shooting myself.

Even when bare shaft tuning carbon shafts it's really wise to put them on a spine tester ,rotate the shafts, and match up the spine stiffness. Some carbon shafts are worse than woodies for spine tolerances...You would be amazed how far off cheap carbon shafts can be just rotating the shaft 90 degrees....   Food for thought.

I've never had much luck bare shafting...??

I have some 55-60 POC arrows that shoot fine out of the bow. I believe that there is a big difference in the way a POC and A Doug fir fly due to density and weight of shaft. Cedar is light, Fir is heavier.  I called in the question to Surewood and am waiting on his response. Just trying to find the equivalent shaft with the same point weight, nock and fletching in the fir as I have in the Cedar. Guess I'll go ahead and fletch and install nocks on the fir that is one spine under and one over, full length, and see what happens.

Two good tie on / adjustable nock points that your arrow nock just fits in could help. With only using one I was getting the same results, tied those on and I was good to go... Good Luck!
