Wood Arrow Flex?
«

September 18, 2011, 09:13:00 AM »
Some buddies and I were shooting 3D yesterday. One buddy who shoots woods, I notice when he drew back his arrow would flex downward in the middle about 1/8". He shoots split so I thought he maybe torquing the string or arrow so he tried 3 under with the same results. Then I tried it using my bow and his split and 3 under with still flex. Is this normal?

Bow poungage to arrow spine is probably off considerably.Are the limbs on the bow equal at full draw?

Odd. There should be no flex on the arrow.

He's shooting a red oak bow he built and the tiller looks pretty good. The limbs look even at full draw. If any thing the arrows maybe to stiff.

Normally seeing a flex like that means the shooter is putting pressure on the arrow with his top finger when shooting split. I don't know how it could still do it 3 under but I would try the double nock.
