Arrows hitting way left......

[blind one]

I'm lost right now. All my bows are 62" and 50 or 51# @28". I'm right handed. My woods fly great out of all them except for the bow I just recieved. The arrows are hitting way left, about 10"..The bow is cut past center. Do I need to build up the side plate? The aluminum arrows fly ok out of all the bows....Roy

Your arrows are too STIFF... No doubt at all.. Add point weight or switch to a lighter spine..

I believe if you bow is cut past center you should build out the side plate.  The real guru's will know for sure and be able to guide you on this.

What JDS says is correct-too stiff; building out the side plate will make them stiffer still.
Go to the acsbows site and check out the 'knowledge base'. There is a lot of advice on tuning. Have fun.

I tried the side plate and that didnt help any. I'm using full length arrows with 160gr upfront now. I draw 30.5"s. What would you guys suggest? I dont have any points heavier and am going to have to buy them. If this helps any, I tried a maxima hunter 250 125gr tip, a 2018 150gr tip and a Axis 340 FMJ 125gr tip. All flew great.

First find out how far past center your shelf is cut..Are you bare shafting?

[Mo. Huntin]

Go to three rivers and get the test kit I ordered it and it was here in less than 3 days.  Then you will know what point weight you need.  I don't know if you are shooting a bare shaft but that will really help to see what is going on.  If all else fails ask O.L.

[Mo. Huntin]

No offense to the fellas above I believe they are correct.

[NightHawk]

could it be because your blind? aka the blind one

[hill boy]

I think you can learn what shaft you need from the shafts you have.With a new bow there is a lot of questions .Lets answer one at a time.Just my opinion.  :p

[vermonster13]

You could be getting a false stiff. You may be getting riser contact causing them to kick left. If carbons that stiff are flying well, the woodies would need to be serious heavy spines to be stiff on your bow.

[hill boy]

NightHawk, good question!  

[blind one]

If the woods are too stiff, why would they fly ok out of my bows that arent cut past center? Wouldnt this make them even worse on these bows?

Not blind, but if you saw my Ex you would think I had to be    ....

[vermonster13]

Translation: False stiff = way too weak.

[Orion]

Just so we're clear, is the bow you just received the same draw weight as your other bows? If it's lighter than your other bows, that could explain the problem.  If it's the same draw weight as your other bows, listen to Vermonster.

If the arrows are flying well out of bows that are cut less than center, and not the bow that is cut past center, they are too weak for the bow cut past center.  They are so weak that they are slapping the shelf and kicking way left.  Try an arrow 12 to 15 lbs stiffer spine out of the cut past center bow.

[blind one]

Its the same weight as the rest of my bows. I'm going to try something heavier in spine. I have a ton of alum but would rather shoot woodies.

[3undr]

i used to have a recurve that was not cut to center(first bow i owned) and shot it well. However, one day a friend and i took a ride up to 3 rivers and while we were there i deceided to try a few bows. I picked up a recurve cut past center and shot 10 inches to the right. I then picked up a longbow not to center and shot right where i looked. The 10 " is what caught my eye, i think it might be the difference between cut to center or not

[Roy Steele]

I'd say your other are just center shot and this bow is.This makes your arorows to heavy splined.Build your shelf out to the came as others are.
   NO MORE PROBLEM.

[Charlie Lamb]

But first try adjusting your brace height... make it higher. If that's the problem a mere 1/4" adjustment will show a difference.
