yet another arrow tune question
« on: February 06, 2014, 03:35:00 PM »
First off details
wes wallace 51@28 64"
soft side velcro rest and strike plate.
I draw 31.5
arrow axis 300 camo full length(33")
split finger with glove
ok so im shooting axis 300 with 50 grain hit. My question is this has anyone had these shoot a wide range of tip weight and seem good. I can bare shaft from 150 points all the way to 225 and the all hit straigt and where I aim. I was hunting with 150 bh but notice when I shot they seemed to fly nock right through the air to target. They still hit spot but tailed to it. So I am now tuning again. I dont mind heavy tip weight but with the 150s it kept my overall weight to 600 which just seems right. Anyway what do you all think. If I put a thinner strike plate on how much spine canI gain? Thanks all

Try soaking the fletching to flatten them down, then re-tune them with broadheads? If they still fly good out to the end of your hunting range, they should work.

Those would be way too stiff for the way I shoot.
My Fedora 560 is 62@30 and likes 31 1/2 340s with 300 gains up front. The bow is cut to center with a Velcro side plate. Everyone is different though.

If you want to shoot 150gr broadheads you can try thinning plate, raising brace, lightening silencers or move them a little further from center to weaken arrow. Since it is off season great time to experiment. Good luck.

Thanks all I guess what im wondering is why does it seem to bareshaft good with such a broad tip weight. I guess I should count my blessings. Maybe ill try some 340s and see what happens. This is the off season so best time to get it right.

You may wish to consider the following in order to shed light on your question.

Try bare shafting to 40 yards. If your point-on is beyond 40 yards, then substitute that value for this 40 yard bareshaft tuning example.

Take a small, yet highly visible target, mounted on a stiff enough wire to position the target approx. 16"s above the central medium you typically shoot in to.

Shoot your fletched shafts having your arrow point centered on the target above the medium until you have demonstrated some level of repeatability. Then shoot your bare shafts, again using the arrow tip point-on. Much can be determined when pursuing this level of tune.
You are not to be concerned with nock position, but only the relationship of the mark between the bare shaft and fletched shaft.

Note: would benefit many to start closer then work back. My approach is that Bare shaft tuning and shooting for a mark are two totally different elements. This is my personal approach and has yielded excellent BH flight.

Also note: Olympic Archers may bareshaft tune more than double the 40 yard distance prescribed here.
