Default RE: Bareshaft tuning headache!!!!!!!!

Thanks Paul for the input. I have concluded that I am shooting an improper arrow. The Bemans I should be shooting are the ICS 300s and not the 340s. Proshop guy sold me the wrong ones according to the chart.

Today I tuned until my broadheads were consistant with my fieldpoints. I then shot gold tip 7595s and the beman 340s. It was obvious that the bemans were not grouping as wellas the gold tips. I also bareshafted both of those arrows and the bemans hit with a greater downward angle.

As far as where the tips of the bareshafts hit, they were pretty much in thelower nine spot.

Is it a good idea to shoot lets say 3 or more different arrows and go with the most consistant one? I really dont know any other way to determine if I'm shooting a properly spined arrow. Is there any other ways to checkand see if the spine is right? Also, how much of a downward angle should bareshafts hit with on a properly spined arrow with a tuned bow? My mathews safari was producing bareshafts that hit exactly the way they left the bow, but I was also shooting 98#s.

This microtuning is creating headaches, but I want to be at maximum performance; just think it'll will helpme be more consistant at greater yardages.

thanks
