bareshafting question

[Iowabowhunter]

I got my arrows put together minus fletching asni want to bare shaft tune. Any diagrams I can follow? Nock low but hittimg where I aim and right to left is fantastic. Noew arrows are 145 grains heavier than previously fletched arrows.

Nock low...you need to raise it until the shafts are entering parallel to the ground.

Bare Shaft Planing method w/I the A & H website has the detailed information you are likely looking or.

Here is how I bare shaft tune. I tune by watching the arrow in flight.   start around 10 yds and shoot the bare shaft, if you cant see how the arrow is kicking at that distance move to 20 yds.  Start with the nock a little high as well to rule out hitting the shelf. If the tail kicks to the right you are stiff ( add point weight) , if the tail kicks left you are weak (reduce point weight or cut the arrow down a little.  once you get the arrow so it looks like right and left are good work on up and down. If its tail high lower the nock in small increments. After this is done I fire the arrow through paper and fine tune from there. Usually there isnt much if any more tuning needed though. All the bows I have tuned like this shoot shoot field tips and broadheads the same.

Try the information on the A&H archery website (acsbows.com).  Toward the bottom of the menu on the home page there is a link called "Knowledge base" that has a good breakdown on setting up and tuning a bow including bare shaft tuning.

It's a very simple process once you get used to it but it can be a little confusing at first.  It's basically a process of shooting two or three bare shafts along with two or three identical fletched shafts and tuning until the bare shafts and fletched group together (point weight, shaft length, nock point...ect.).  Start close and move back as your tune improves.  The further back you go the better but I've found once my bare shafts and fletched are grouping together at 25 yards or so that's usually good enough.  At that point you should be able to swap field points for same weight broadheads, confirm, and be set.
