Reply To: Tuning struggles/ adjustable riser plate

So the process goes on trying to get these arrows flying. I took advice and moved my adjustable arrow plate on the riser of the old bear bow out as far as I could while still allowing enough space for the arrow to rest on the shelf. well, i found the arrow I had been tuning was then to stiff for that much past center so I started backing it in. I found a spot about in the middle where I am still tail left, right impact indicating week spine.

My question is this;

If I am under standing this right, I am actually also tuning the shaft as i tune the adjustable side plate in and out, changing my distance from center shot on the riser, right? Can I find the sweet spot with the shaft I have been tuning (so I don’t have to throw away a good carbon shaft)where I am still slightly week,and make small trim cuts from there?

I guess I am reluctant to move the plate all the way out as I can move it out 3/4 of an inch or more and my arrow is pointing off into left feild something fierce!

Also, the shorter my tuned shaft ends up being, the more FOC I will have due to more weight up front and less weight in the back, right?

Thanks for any help guys!
