bare shaft tuning-clarifacation

[champ38]

OK, I read the   bare shaft tuning sect. on      ACS's web page , and here is what I gathered: It does not matter the noch orientation.(ie: noch right, noch left) of the bare shaft after hitting the target, ONLY the grouping of the bare shafts relative to the fletched.Am I correct here ? with my set-up my bare shafts and fletched are all grouping together (20 yds)- all within a 6-8 in. circle but the bare shafts are entering the target extremly noch left(45 degrees to the target) and my fletched are almost straight maybe a touch noch left. according to what i read I should be close..or have I misinterpreted the Info?  Ive done a search for this info here on trade gang- it seems this noch left/right thing matters  to some and not to others. I maybe just getting confused from all the info...thanks for every ones help in advance, Shane

champ,
You interpreted it correctly.  Don't worry about where the nock is, only where it penetrates the target.  Though, I usually find that they sorta "coincide"..for example, if the bareshafts strike the target to the left of the fletched shafts, it looks like the arrow is "nock right" in nature and vice-versa.

Actually, if you were to bareshaft an unmatched arrow at a long distance (say 50-75 yds) it's liable to end up heading off almost at a right angle to your target before it gets there.

no it doesn't matter...BUT, I'd back up another 10-15 yards and shoot a few more, just to be sure they aren't to weak, assuming you're a right handed shooter

thanks Larry and Tom for clearing that up,I shot the same set-up again this PM and both the bare shafts and fletched where grouping together out to 25 yards...good enough for me. thanks again, Shane
