Shaft selection

[Jhawk]

I think I am over spined but wanted more of experience than I have.  Just got a new Black Widow CHX 58" 51@28. I am pulling 26.5" so I'm figuring it's about 46-47 lbs at my draw.  My other bow is a Hornes combo hunter with recurve limbs 55@28. I have my Hornes tunes with CE Heratige 150, 28" arrow with 100 grain insert and a 150 grain tip. I did have help with this set up and the bow is shooting great.

When I got my new bow I shot some bare shafts with my set up for my Hornes and was nock left.  I then ordered some new 150's and 50 grain inserts and thought this would work. After working on one arrow I am down to the aluminum inserts and 125 grain heads. After cutting the arrow as much as I can I am still nock left.

If I am understanding this correctly I need a lower spined arrow Heratige 90 and start over. Thanks for the input.

Are you right handed?

right handed

Your arrows are weak. Widows are cut past center, requiring more spine.

build your strike plate out a 16th and try again.

If my arrows are too weak then I need lighter tips correct?  If building out strike plate doesn't help then do I need 250's. Brain is getting fuzzy.

[Prairie Drifter]

yep,lighter tips or build out the side plate or stiffer shafts

[Jhawk]

Cool thanks. Hope I can find an easy swap with these arrows. Shouldn't be too hard.

I'm shooting 30.5" Heritage 150's out of my PCH X at 50 lbs, 125 gr. tip and they bare shaft tuned great with the standard Widow plate. Flew like a dart.

If you're right handed, nock left is a weak spine, nock right would indicate over-spined.  I think you could make a 150 work for you.
I shoot the same bow with 150's...only longer (30.5") with just the insert and 125 gr. tip and they fly very good unfletched at 50# draw.  Of course, shooting style and release play into the equation a little too. I do have a toothpick piece stuck behind the arrow plate.

Spent about 3 hrs so far playing with my set up.  Got heavier shafts different points and inserts.  With everything I ended up raising my nock way higher than I initially did and thats all it took.  Lesson learned for sure.  Again this is my first time tuning a bow alone and have learned a bunch.  Set up I have now is CE 150's cut to 27" with 200 grains up front.
