shooting an arrow that is too light can do damage to your bow–most bowyers won’t warranty bows shot below 8GPI making your set up borderline —

however my suggestion to go up with your point weight was to improve the effect of the archers paradox–as well as foc

good luck

IMO-your set up is pretty light–@7.78GPI-if your pulling a true 28″–if your pulling any more–its even lighter

i would think those arrows are flying stiff-[left if you ‘re a righty]maybe not–

but by going up in point weight you should see an improvement in flight-[accuracy]- improved penetration—a much quieter bow [7.78GPI is very light for that bow]

practice shooting a marginaly tuned bow is like playing an out of tune guitar–awfully hard to get it right—-in my opinion your real close on that set up[nice bow]–IMO you could go up in point wieght 75-100 grains

good luck and have fun

you can try a turbulator–but i suspect it will not be easy to see–a 2-3″dip appears in the sight picture as a short post-on hunting arrows you could use a 2-3″ section of wrap-but practicing w/the wraps on -they won’t last long–and the paint will wear also depending on target material[yuo can get target burn]i once used a silver sharpie–and it worked pretty good and you could re “paint” it easily –i found the foot dip to be a excellant training aid to learn the gap method–and i don’t have it on all my arrows now–but in low light i sometimes find myself wishing i did

————————good luck mike

i started instinctive and learned to gap–in my case it morphed into gap-stinctive —try this –i dip the point-end about 2-3″of white paint[any light color] –when you come to full draw the paint will appear as a 1 inch post[real easy to see]also using the white post allows the the sight picture to always stay the same–regardless of the length the point–it made it easier for me—
