Need advice on some new arrows
« on: September 03, 2021, 10:23:18 PM »
I have a New Black Widow PCH 55# at my draw 28" I'm having a hard time trying to get the arrows to fly right. Never did I have this much trouble finding perfect flight.  I have tried 400 with 200 up front  with that bare shaft knock left .  Traid xx75 bare shaft 2314 slight knock left but with feathers perfect flight. I just don't have a ton of money trying different arrows.I have brand new Abowyer 200 grain Boneheads screw in trying to keep and use those. . You have any ideas ? Thanks guys.

Assuming you're a right handed shooter both arrows are showing slightly weak.  If you have room try cutting the arrows down a 1/4" at a time until they fly straight.  If you run out of shaft length you'll have to move up to the next spine and start over.

Or, put less weight up front :archer2:

You can just build out your window shelf:  add 1/16” leather pad under or over the existing one on window shelf and see how it comes. That is the less expensive way before cutting anything or changing point. BW are cut way past center (3/16”) so you have room to do so.
La critique est aisée mais l'art est difficile.

I'd try this
Stay sharp, Kenny.

 If the 2314's land slightly nock left bareshaft, & fly perfect with feathers, and you have 200 gr up front, & want to use the 200 gr broadheads, then I'd go with those. Less tinkering means more shooting...and that's especially important during this time of year...

Also, since you stated that the bow is new, I'd be hesitant to change anything on the bow except the brace height until I was certain that I was completely familiar with it and used to shooting it...I have 4 Widows in the stable (3 PCH's & 1 PSA) and have not had any trouble matching an arrow to them in their "out-of-the-box" condition.

For what it's worth, once I find an arrow that lands slightly nock left bareshaft, I go with it, because I almost always see the desired flight when the arrow is fletched. That's what works for me, your result may be different...

Thanks for the advice guys.  I was looking in my stable and found a carbon express heritage 350 that was the ticket bare shaft and feathers fly like darts and they sure hit the bad harder .  I have had at least 20 widows in my time but this one gave me a little trouble but now its shooting lasers. Note  to self don't sell it
