Tuning question.

[Matthew Bolton]

I bought a traditional only test kit the other day and while tuning it to my 50# Pearson hunter i found that i get really good flight with a 600 and a 250 grain tip but the arrow is sticking out of the target leaning to the left. Is this something to work on or leave be? I dont wanna start cutting and mess something up. Im hitting where im looking the arrows are just angled in the target. Thanks in advance.

As I recall, someone wrote that when you are "reading" your arrows, they should be shot into a good solid target like a block target because loose bag targets can give you a false read by not properly holding the arrow in place. What kind of target are you shooting at?

600 Is Easton's low spined shaft. By adding a 250gn point you have taken more spine out. Your fletch length also falls into play here. I would drop down in point weight to see what happens and then lengthen my fletch to see if my arrow strikes the target straight on. Most often a few tweaks makes a big difference but in your case you will give up the desired FOC mass weight.

A 600 would normally be very weak from a 50lb bow, unless you have a short draw and/or are not drawing the bow far enough to truly be pulling 50lbs at your draw length; are you using a dacron string?  That might account for using a weaker spined arrow than normal.  I wouldn't think that arrow would spine w/ that point much above 40lbs or so if it was 28-29" long.

P.S.- Is this a fletched arrow or a bare shaft?  If it is kicking left, it would be weak.

its a bare shaft but i got it shooting a 500 with a 200 grain point exactly where i want it.
