My first Widow!

[Smeans]

I am really liking the bow but man I am having a hard time tuning it.

The GT 3555's I have don't shoot well even though my other stronger draw bow shoots them fine. Someone mentioned that widows need a stiffer spine since they are past center cut. So I got some 5575's and the fishtailing has settled down some but is still not gone away. I have used multiple head weights on both arrows and all it seems to do is make the arrows hit left or hit dead center of where I aim; the fish tail is still there. I have also noticed that this bow is way sensitive to release and not real forgiving compared to my Samick. Do you think I should try some of the 7595 arrows and see what happens? Arrow length on all of these are 27.5.

Nice looking bow.  A Black Widow is on my Bucket List too!

Beaaauty!!!! Mine should be here in a couple days!!! I got a greybark and I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself! My friend has an autumn oak and it was such a dream to shoot, I had to get one for myself! I am now thoroughly positive that I like trad more than compound.... better not let my sponsors hear this!! hahah enjoy your new baby!

Oh yeah, about fishtailing, my friend said that his did it quite a bit but with GT 35/55s (just about the same problem you're having) he bare shafted through paper, kept the point heavy and about 10.5 grains per pound of arrow weight. then he kept moving the nock incrementally lower until it shot well. I can't wait to do this with my own...

I apply a similar method of this when tuning my compounds for FITA and 3D except at 5 grains per pound...
