2016 weak out of 45# recurve
« on: August 07, 2014, 10:11:00 AM »
Hi I recently bought a dozen Easton xx75 2016 aluminum arrows based on the spine chart from 3 rivers archery. I am shooting a 45# samick sage recurve with a fast flight string. My draw length is 28". I bareshafted 1 arrow starting full length and cutting 1/4 inch off at a time. I am now at 29 inches and they are still shooting very weak. With 3 5 inch feathers they shoot ok but bareshaft they wobble a lot and stick in target nock left. Im shooting 125 grain heads. with 100 grain heads they shoot a little better but still weak bareshaft. All my broadheads and judos are 125 grain. Ive tried raising my brace height from 7 1/2 inches to 8 inches and was using a calf hair rest. Switched to velcro and shaved a wooden arrow with my knife til it was flat on one side and put it behind the velcro for a strike plate. This helped quite a bit but still bareshaft weak. I am wondering if I should of gotten 2018s or somthing stiffer or maybe i should invest in a plunger? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have a 45 pound bob lee at my draw length which is 28. I shoot carbons, gold tip 3555's with 50 grains in the insert and 125 grain point. I get great arrow flight with this set up.

One step at a time--maybe.  Curious.... did you start out by having the tip of the arrow slightly outboard from the center line of the bow as you look from the rear?
