bare shafting....ready to pull my hair out!

[fountain]

i am shooting a r/d longbow that is 66" (strung) drawing a measured 28"--using an arrow and clothes pin i measure 28" to back of nock.  the bow has 52@27 on it , but the previous owner shaved a little off i think.  i am currently shooting 2018 with 200 gr points and the arrow is 29.5 to von.  they shoot decent, but nock high.  i am going over to a full lenght 35/55 ) if i ever find any) with the same 200 gr point.  think that will work???
now--how in the world do i get a good, clean and consistent release every time.  i am also shooting a clicker.

I think alot of people have problems bare shaft tuning from either not starting out with the nock pt high enough and dealing with the contact with the shelf of the bow or inconsistent finger pressure on the string, both of these will give inconsistent results when shooting and can cause some frustration as you try to adjust for 1 or the other.  Make sure you are very high with your nock pt to start, normally around 1in and work your way down from there, and make sure you are getting even, consistent finger pressure on the string and make a good release.  Also, another point to consider, always bare shaft tune your bow by shooting the bow in a vertical position so you get a true side to side and up and down reading on the shaft leaving the bow. Bare shaft tuning is the best (IMHO) way to find the tune the perfect arrow for your bow.  Mark

I've always wondered when bareshafting, if a person underdraws a little if the arrow will act stiff because there are less pounds of bow acting on it?  Or will it act weak because it is effectivly longer?
