Hey guys,
Im having some trouble getting my 3-D setup to paper tune and Im thinking its the arrows,heres my setup tell me what you think!
Q2XL set at 66lb.s 28inch draw with 27 1/2 inch 3-39 ACC arrows with 70 grain nib points and 3 inch vanes,winners choice string, and a GKF premier arrow rest! I use a Scott little goose release and a string loop!
I have to move the center shot way out to get it not to tear about an inch nock left and I know this is not right!!!!!
Do you think the arrows are under spined?????I could cut about an inch off of them to stiffen them up or Im thinking of going to 2312`s.
What do you think???????

I don't think its spine - you look good there.

I have seen this before with Mathews bows. It could be the grip and the way it tends to force torque into the riser ( open hand or not)

look up at your idler when at full draw - if the string is coming of the wheel at an angle (to the left of the wheel) - then that may be the problem.

Of course fletching contact can also do this.....but I suspect torque

On my Mathews Feather Max, I had to have the rest pretty far out to the left as well, but the bow shot sweet. I could and did smack broadheads at 30 yards. Remember, paper tune is just a start. Try shooting that bow for groups and see where she ends up.

Id say you are slightly underspined , try some 3-49s and I'll bet your problem decreases , 2312's will be underspined .

Eastons Shaft Selector shows 3-49. Thats useing the hunting option. It does show a 3-39 in the target option along with the 3-49. It also shows a 3-39 at 26" for hunting. I'd say your under spined for one thing. Especially @ that length.

I was able to cut 1 1/2 inches off the arrows and they now will paper tune!

Thanks for the input guys!!!!!!
