Big Jim's comments sound very similar to my recent attempt again at bare shafting. I shoot a Sarrels 50@28 but draw around 301/4 inches... when I used 80-85 bare shafts they still all showed weak even with 125 heads. I couldn't believe it. However, when fletched, obviously way too stiff with knocks way right.... I now shoot 75-80 Douglas with 125 heads.. I love bare shafting but have also had a tough time getting it perfect because it always shows weak... good advice from all of you, nice discussion. I thought Big Jim's thoughts on knock height with split finger also very good. Thanks,
J
