I've been shooting the arrow I hunted with this past season out of a new Blacktail Sitka Recurve (56", 46#@26"). The arrow has been flying great so I checked the paper tune this morning. (This was an arrow that I didn't "build" for this bow but most of my bows are very close in specs ...within 3-4 pounds of draw weight. Brace height on this bow is lower than most of mine at 6 5/8".
You can see from the pictures, my results. There are 3, 2-arrow pairs of holes.
Holes #1-2 were the first shots-nock low - 1/4" nocking point. You can see the spine was great to start with. But I had a low paper tear.
So I bumped the nocking point up to 5/8". The next pair of shots are beautiful bullet holes. Notice there are two sets of these bullet holes. One from my setting distance of 7' and the other pair at 21'.
I'll check the set-up with my broad head before hunting but in my experience the paper tuned Field Pointed arrow always works with my broad head.
The arrow is a Deep Six Injexion 460-- 28" and weights 444.5 grains. I'm shooting at 46#@26". The FP and BH are 155 grains. The FP was special made with the Deep Six threads to match this BH by a friend (Deep Six field points are difficult to find in weights other than 100 and 125 grains unless one goes with a VPA outset.
Those are 4" feathers. I cut the vanes off these arrows (they came fletched) and applied the feathers. Some will notice one of the arrows has a standard nock and the other a lighted nock.
Notice I just cut a hole on both sides of a large box to make the PT frame. My old metal system was too large so I'm improvising until I can get some PVC.
