help ,crazy arrows

[RC]

I been shooting my widow some its a 62" pl and 48@27 my draw length. I have some Gold Tip trad arrows. They are the 35-55 and 30" long. I have 100 grain brass inserts in them and 175 grain points. They shoot great. I also have 3 5 1/5 " left wing parabolic feathers on them...now for the crazy part.

  I ran out of feathers and had some 5" parabolic right wing feathers. I fletched them up with a right wing jig 4 fletch and they fly CRAZY. Not even hitting the backstop at 20 yards crazy. I cut the feathers off one shaft with my knife and bareshafted at 15 yards and hit within two inches of my spot? Any answers?

  Everytime I try carbons I get sick of`m quick. I think I`m gonna get some 2016`s or wood.RC

Maybe feather contact? Thats a lot of feather... 4- 5".

4x90, 60x120, 75x105? Try twisting your arrow nocks a little for better shelf clearance.

RC, I would say that they are too weak of spine for your setup, I shoot 46# @ 28" my draw length and my GT3555's are cut to 29 1/8 with a 50 grain brass insert and a 145gr point you will need to shorten them up to 29 to start and shave them down from there if you want all that weight up front.

Thanks Guys. RC

Robert, I shoot nothing but left wing myself.  For some odd reason, the right wings sound like a flu-flu going down range.  Don't know what the problem is.

Robert, i too think there to weak im shooting a
28 1/2" arrow with 100 grain insert with a 125 grain tip ot of a 50# bow at 27" and it's not cut to center like your bow. i would first try a lighter point to see of that helps any

I wouldn't think they are weak if they are bareshafting that well.  It would almost have to be contact.  Try 3-5 inchers and see what happens.

Just to show how you can't generalize arrow spine, I'm shooting full length 3555's with standard inserts and 200 grain points out of 64#'s.  They bareshaft perfect and fly flawless with big broadheads.

It's hard to factor in variables such as form and release.

dont give up so quick--experiment.  3 5" should work.  as long as it is shooting like a dart bare shafting it is something little that will make you kick yourslef when you find it.  stay with the carbons, they are good stuff--but you know that

[wtpops]

My first thought was week but if the fly they fly. I would try 3 5" instead of 4.

Thanks fellas . The arrow I was bareshafting was from the first batch of arrows I got. The are  1.5 shorter.  duh,RC

Just for the heck of it rotate a nock and try one with cock feather in.

You can hide a lot of sins with big feathers on a dry day, but if they get wet
