This problem usally happens when you have too much tail whip, what type of rest are you shooting through? I am also shooting the same arrows with plastic fletching only I am shooting with 100gr. 4 blade Muzzy's and a shoot through rest. I had encountered the problem you are now adn fixed the problem when i went to a shoot through rest. If you are shooting through a shoot through rest try moving your rest pins closer together or moving your rest outwads a little bit so the arrow doesnt touch the bow, I think youll find these tips may cure your problem.

I just ran you through "The Archery Program" and I see this as a severely weak spine for your bow. What I used for reference was a 30" arrow an axle length of >43", hard cam, and finger release.

The proper arrow in my humble opinion would be a 2317 rather than the 2314 you now have.

If any of the above info is inaccurate to your setup, then re-post all the correct the info and I will glady re-run the setup for you, or you can download the free trial and run the specs for yourself.

Happy Shooting!

Maybe before you go and invest in a new set of arrows you could screw the lightest tips in you could find. If Tony is right that might help.

Crap....Imissed!
First of all....I like that handle! how creative!

The shorter axle atually makes the 2314 even a lesser viable shaft than it was with an axle longer than 43".

The cam in my opinion based on the peformance of the bow could go either medium or hard, a call to Reflex may help clear that up, but it really isn't that important at this point.

The fact that the arrows are 32" also makes this bad for the 2314, and even shows the 2317 as severely weak. With that arrow length and a 125 grain point I would direct you to the largest heaviest arrow Easton makes! The 2419.

Dropping your tip weight to 100 grains has a very adverse effect on your FOC (front of center balance) both arrows drop below 6% with 100 grain heads which in my opionion is too low.

I have used 36 grains for your fletch weight assuming you are using 5" vanes. Using 5" feathers which will weigh around 15 grains will help out a little with the 100 grain tips. (~8% FOC) still a little low. I would stay with the 125 gran tips AND use 5" feathers if you arent already.

Just out of curiousity what speed are getting? I show around 218 f/s with the 2314. Changing to the recommended 2419 should yield around 200 f/s.

I hope this helps with your problem. Have you put any thought into carbon?

Happy Shooting!

You could also drop your draw weight to see if this clears up the arrow flight. Then you'll know you are underspined. Just a suggestion. Be safe.
