I was looking over the straightness specs on some of the various premium arrows out there. Some are only .006" - some have only half that much runout. If you were shooting from some sort of mechanical bow that was devoid of human error, just how much difference in group size would there be between an economy .006 arrow and a premium .003 arrow? Thanks. Roskoe.
What I have found by actually measureing the straightness, is I rarely find mfg. stand up to thier claims. I find it makes a huge difference with broadheads. I have a good article in bowhunter June 2004 where they tested this and found shooting thru a machine, anything over .003 makes a difference especially with broadheads.
A guy that can hit a skoal can at 30 yards 5 out of 5 times probably can't with arrows .006".
