Default RE: Just shot the new recurve!

I'm still trying the 3under method and it still feels more natural for me. It feels more like I am actually pointing at what I am looking at. I guess it is because the arrow is closer to the line of sight. I will probably try split finger some more with a higher anchor.
I moved the nock a bit on my 2117s to try and eliminate fletching contact and I think I have that solved. I also moved the nock point up to 4/8" above the shelf. The 2117s are flying a lot better. I think my biggest problem is consistently getting a smoothe release. I haven't shot fingers in a while.
The most recent Easton chart I have shows the 2117s to be one of the choices for my setup, but every traditional chart I have seen shows the 2117 to be overspined. The 2117's I am shooting are about 1.5 to 1.75" too long. I think I will try having a few of them cut down first to see if this causes them to become way over spined. I may try going with a heavier point to weaken the arrow a bit. I will probably try to get my hands on a couple more sizes to try them out.
I'm not used to the wind affecting my arrow flight much because of the smaller carbons and speed I shoot from the Hoyt. The wind really grabs these heavier slower arrows and makes it hard to tell if its my release or the wind moving the arrow. I could shoot this thing and tinker with it all day I think, wind or not.
