RE: Bare Shaft Tuning
OL Adcock gave me some advise on tradgang. He told me no way I am seeing what I am seeing. So as usual your right OL. I am not sure how I came to my conclusions I did on Sunday. Some days I want to just throw up my arms. Maybe fatigue from shooting well over 200 arrows that day?
Here's where I have been
For a long time, 2018's and 2016's have shown stiff reactions with dacron strings but I couldn't go below 8.5" BH.
Just got a 452+ string from Chad, and started at 7" BH, with no silencers. My 2018's and 2016's showed very weak reaction with 125 and 100gr points. So weak, I couldn't hit a target 15 yards out. So I tried 2219's and got decent flight with 250gr point. Still showing a tad stiff. Ok, so I figured, I finally found a good spine. So that night I put on some cat whiskers cause it was loud that day, and moved my BH to 8" to quieten it down. Ok, so now I show slight stiff reaction from 2216 and 2219 with all points from 100gr to 250gr. AFter putting a 125gr Magnus Broadhead on, my slight stiff reaction now would make me hit 8" to the left at 15 yards.
So this mornign went back to 2018's with 125gr point, and everything if flying great? I show a very slight weak reaction. Magnus are hitting slightly to the right of field points. Thinking of taking off 1/2" and see what happens.
So I don't know what happened or How I thought 2219's were good, maybe adding cat whiskers, maybe 7" BH to 8", maybe I was fatigued with sloppy release on Sunday. But all is right with the bow world again.
