bare shaft tuning

[JamesV]

Got my bare carbon shafts grouping about a foot at 20 yards from my recurve. Can't shoot much better with feathers but then I got this Idea. I screwed one of my new broadheads on to see how it would fly on a bare shaft. You guessed it, over the target and under the grass, after an hour of raking and looking no shaft. Then another idea, get the wife to watch while I try again with another new broadhead. Now got two under the grass. Not to worry, getting a metal dector tomorrow...........LOL

you should not bare shaft with broad heads

Yep, don't bareshaft broadheads, they behave as fletching on the wrong end! (or wings)! Bareshaft with field points only!  Your neighbors will appreciate it!

I shoot bare shafts with field point and put on some broadheads with your feather and shoot to the same point.If they group together you have a good combo.

Or, you can use all fletched shafts, but put bhs on half of them and field points on the other half. shoot your group and then tune to get the bhs hitting where the field point arrows are hitting.
