Didn't want to hijack Trumpkins thread
Last week I grabbed 3 arrows and walked outside. I was shooting a styrofoam ball about the size of a ping pong ball. First arrow, nicked ball. Second arrow about 3" low right. Not bad! Last arrow, is an arrow I hit steel with at a 3D shoot. The 125 gr tip was missing and the insert was sticking out of the shaft about 3/8". Just for giggles, I shot it. Dead center in the ball! Good flight,  too. This was at 15 yards.
So, was this luck? Or the insert forward lengthened the shaft making it weaker and compensating for no tip? Or just I have one very forgiving bow? I fully expected to have that arrow hit the target side ways, or miss the target.

Fletching works wonders. Also makes me think that a clean release cleans up a TON of tuning issues.

"So, was this luck?"

Did you try it again and were the results the same?

Nope, didn't shoot it again.
