RE: Help with long range fishtailing

Keep what Arthur P said in mind:

Quote:

If the arrow is launching straight off the bow, flying well until it gets 15-20 yards downrange and then starts going crazy, it's not bow tune.

Many things contribute to poor arrow flight and most have been covered here already. Definitely spin test the arrows and also check the uniformity of the fletches. We had one customer come in the other day who had some arrows fletched with both straight and left helical on the same arrow.

Offset or helical will definitely help but are not absolutely necessary if the arrows are straight and properly fletched and properly spined.
