Quetion for Bare Shafters
« on: March 13, 2008, 09:06:00 PM »
Here is my group at 15 yrds with fletched and bare shafts.  Is this close enough?  I am about to pull my hair out.

That is about perfect, ya want the bareshaft to show a bit weak as when ya fletch them up and add a broadhead it will stiffen them just a bit. Ya may of had one flyer with the bareshaft above the bullseye. I always want my bareshafts to be a bit right of my fletched. Shawn

They are a matched set.  I just messed around with different stains.

I agree it looks pretty good.  As Shawn stated, you want them to bareshaft just a tad weak.

If they were mine I'd fletch em & be done with it.

If you are right handed then you are good to try some broadheads.

Have you tried shooting at 20-25 yards?  Differences are  magnified by distance.  Looks awfully good at 15 yards.

I now know what a "ball of feathers to the target" looks like.

I would pull and shoot again the 2 arrows with extreme nock left to verify arrow or release.  If indeed the arrow is the problem, I'd pull them out of the mix.  Those 2 arrows would have missed the target at 20yds.
The remainder look very good.

I think he is using the planing method and not nock orientation. It is very hard to use nock position unless you have a real consistent material to shoot in to and those bag targets are anything but consistent. Fletch'em up and go kill something! Shawn

The bag target did not do that to those 2 arrows.  They do not compare to all the other arrows and bare shafts.
