sorry-- another tuning Q

[joe ashton]

I was watching an old Byran Ferguson video, he said you can fine tune left/right arrow flight by changing the brace height.
So, lets say I have arrows with a minor nock right kick,  what do I do with brace height to straighten the flight? (I'm right handed) And why.

Minor knock right would indicate a slightly stiff arrow.

In effect by increasing your brace height you would weaken the arrow. This occurs because you change the pivot of the arrow around the riser. By moving such point more toward the center of the arrow the shaft acts weaker.

I think he meant if you arrows are flying good/straight and they start going to the left bring your brace hight up a little at a time until your arrows come back to center.

If they are going to the right just lower your BH until you came back to center.

This is for a right hand shooter. Just the opposite for a lefty.

[The Whittler]

I don't think it's any different for a Left Hand shooter. Sorry about that.

I hope I'm not jacking the OP's thread, but I have the same situation that he describes, only slight nock leaning to the left problem. I am shooting an old Bear Super Kodiak 45# @28". I'm shooting 27.5" 3555 Gold Tips (per their chart).

I get the same results when I shoot the same arrows from an old Darton Ranger 40-45#. Using 100 gr. field tips on both. After I move back to around 15 yds, the nock leaning left disappears. The arrows have 4 inch vanes (artifial feathers?). I'd like to use a 125 gr. or better broad head, but am afraid that would increase the left lean. Any ideas?

thanks, Dan
