If this is a 66" that should be more than enough. If those Surewoods were 28" or so and had 145 or 160 grain points, they should have been about right on. Everyone has their own release, what I try to NOT do is lose draw length on the release. The arrow does not take off until the string leaves the finger tips. Even Howard Hill, when watching in slow mo speed, at times loses some draw in his release as the fingers come forward. I am assuming you cant the bow, shoot split and have the bow deep enough in your hand so the bow lined up to the base of your thumb and not twisting. A Hill longbow may appear to shoot wide to the shelf side compared to a center shot bow and still have proper arrow flight. When I have been shooting my recurve and my eye gets used to that center shot, my first draw with a longbow throws me a bit, seeing that arrow angled off to side more. I quickly adjust to it by intentionally using split image aiming. If a wood arrow is too stiff it will fly loggy when fletched. I am never sure what to say when when an arrow is said to fly to the right for a left hand Hill style bow or left for a right hand Hill bow. It may be the shooter that is more used to shooting with a center shot bow without any cant. When an arrow is too stiff for me, they fly loggy and up and right out of my left hand bows because of the cant.
