Bare shaft tuning....who shoots [email protected]???

This thread has been great!
Tomorrow I will put on some 300grain(or more) tips and see how them bare shafts fly. Its been real frustrating.

My gosh! Sounds just like my post. See tuning new Predator.
Mine is 60-61 @31" and I had a hell of a time coming from a BW.
It takes a different grip. The BW was a tight grip more on the side.
The Predator needed an almost open hand. I'm shooting both with a high wrist.
I could not gat any arrow to do anything but fly nock left. Now I have perfect flight.
I'll try to find the link.

Here is the link -
Move your grip around. I can't explain it how to grip differently.
I really had a hard time with this one. I just could not get it to work and had no explanation. But it shoots incredibly well now. I think I will sell my last widow.

Ted,
Thanks for the link.I remember your thread and watched it pretty closely. I even posted on it.

I pulled the weather rest off this evening. I just prefer to shoot off the shelf. I put two layers of scotch extreme mounting tape (two sided) on the strike plate, then put a tooth pick on it and covered it with calf hair. It actually seemed to shoot pretty well with the 340 axis/50 grain insert/200 grain tip. Maybe just a hair weak, but I can probably live with it or adjust the string silencers slightly to fix that.

It's not quite built out as far as the weather rest had it, but like I said I think I can make it work. And it won't take as long to get my brain programmed to pull the arrows back to center.

Tuning is fun...but this has been a headache. I will say I've learned a lot. Thanks in large part to guys on here. I hope they keep making these arrows so I don't have to do this again, lol.
