Default RE: I'm a Longbow Man Now

Vic,

The paper tuning went great. The results from the paper tuning bore out what shooting in the backyard told me. The bow prefers 57-58# spine over the lighter spines.

Actually, the 58# resulted in a perfect hole with no tear. The 57# had a very slight, <1/8" tear up and to the left. The others had a bit more tear up and to the left. The worst case was 1/2". I recall going with my setup and arrow spine with paper tuning results of 1/2" high and to the left or a bit more!

I'm going to see if RRA can make me a set of 58-59# spine aRRAs. I think they would be right on.

I did notice the 23/64 aRRA punches a big hole! Of course, most of the other folks that shoot in the Archery Shop shoot Gold Tip or Beman carbon arrows. Their holes do look a good bit smaller. I figure with the sharp to the point broadhead it will be pushing in front of it, it won't matter!

Bill
