I would have bet that there was no way they would fly even half-way decent, but they did--when I did everything just right. Most of the time they flew like crap, but hit the mark just the same. Might havebeen a different story with aluminum or carbon-never tried those. I have learned you can get away with a lot more if your form and release is good though.

I never shot those arrows from that bow with broadheads--don't plan to either. Broadheads will magnify every mistake.

When I say I got "good flight" from my selfbow, that was to my eye--i.e., I didn't see the wobble, didn't get any noise, etc.--never tried shooting through paper. The folks I was shooting with noticed the shots that flew great vs. the others also (I shot the same arrow for the entire course, so it wasn't a difference in arrows).

The more I learn about this sport, the more I realize how much I don't know.....and how few "rules" are absolute.
