Alright, I stuck a piece of #14 bare copper wire under a calf hair strike plate and I think I am good to go. At first my BH flight was great but it was impacting to the left. After several shots my brain brought it to the middle and my flight is still great. I guess that shaft was actually weak, I never would have guessed that.

Thanks

thanks R2 I think i will go with a toothpick under some blue painters tape. Easy to remove. If it works I will build it out with some velcro. It is flying pretty good I think the main problem is my release. I have not control over my hand sometimes.

Ok I got you now. Last night I had a moment to shoot again and the bare shafts were impacting with the fletched ones but I could see they were flying tail left.i don’t think there is anyway that shaft is actually weak. The bow is only 53#. I will build the side plate out and see what happens. Thanks again

Ed, I think the shaft is hitting the strike plate and giving me a false reading. Won’t building it out make it worse? Thanks for your input

Thanks Steve,

It is tough to tune because I cant cut any arrow off. Brace height, string material and moving my silencers hasn’t really changed anything and I am afraid if i build my strike plate out it will only make it worse. I am hitting right but I think the shaft is to stiff. I think the rear end of my shaft is hitting the strike plate and kicking it to the left(impacting right). I am already really heavy up front but I guess I could go up to 400grains and see what happens. I tried CE 250 and 350 and couldnt get them to fly as well as my current set up with any weight. I will try more weight up front and see if it is more forgiving. As long as my release is good it flys great. Anyway thanks again

Good to know I am going to try to get in the high 500 low 600 at 52 lbs. I draw 32, I think that setup will have enough ass to get it done.

Cool, I only ask because I am dropping into the low 50s with my new bow. I will try the plywood test when I get it.

2 blade. What is your poundage and draw length??

Robin,

I have killed a couple of elk with the set up similar to what Alex recommended. 680gr total, 2 blade single bevel with no aluminum in my set up out of a 61# bow. That being said if your set up is in the high 500 grains and you don’t have any aluminum I would simply switch to a single bevel head and call it good. If you have great arrow flights. What I am saying is I think you are better off being a little light with great flight than otherwise. I would definitely switch to a 2 blade head if you are planning shooting 30 yards or more

I killed a turkey a few years ago with one and it broke when I pulled it out of a piece of oak it was stuck in. I am sure it won’t fail most of the time but I think you could do better. I think four blade is a good idea for bears though. I hear they don’t bleed a lot.

I would really like to shoot wood but I cant find any that are 33.5 inches. After I taper the nock and the point they are to short. I know forrester shafts sells some but I am not in a place where I can afford them. Not saying they are over priced, I just have a young family and carbons are cheap and durable. If you know of any Sitka spruce that are long enough let me know. I love working on wood arrows.

Grumpy, what is s the RR methode.?

Thanks Doug

Maybe you just need a little more time settling into your new bow at long range. If your form was off you’d have goofy arrow flight, if your set up was off you’d see goofy arrow flight. I don’t know what your draw length is but 400 seems a little weak to me. Anyway I don’t know I guess, good luck.
