Bareshafting question

[Talondale]

I am bareshafting my new arrows and at under 20 yards things seem ok with 145grn or 125grn tips.  When I move back to 30 yards I am still grouping in the center but hitting 3-6" low compared to my old arrows.  The new shafts are GamegetterII 500s and the old are 2016 with 3x5" feathers.  Both are around 500grn but the new shafts are 1.5" longer.  I thought this may be due to position of my head since I use the cock feather as a third anchor point but no matter how much I try to duplicate shooting form the new shafts seem to hit lower.  When I switched from shooting compound instinctive to recurve I noticed my longer shots hit lower and I chalked it up to differnces in speed and shooting off the shelf vs elevated rest.  Could it still be muscle memory not fully adjusted? form? or feathers providing a flatter trajectory? or a combination of all the above?

Talondale,

I would not be too concerned about it.  What you need to be concerned about is where they impact(left/right) compared to the fletched shafts.  The fact that they are hitting a little low can probably be corrected with a nock adjustment.

Furthermore, if you are doing things correctly, you should see a difference(left/right) in impact locations between the 145 gr and 125 gr tips.  Assuming you are right handed, the 145 gr tipped shafts should impact further right than the 125 gr tipped shafts.
