Arrow flight
 

I need hep I am kind of a novice bow hunter seeking to get better. I have been practicing a lot lately and have found that my arrows are not flying true. The back end of the arrow kicks left, it does not seem to be affecting my accuracy but it definatley bothers me. I put a new rest on and that doesn't seem to have fixed anything. Somebody help

1st, welcome to the forum and to the sport....I'm relatively new to bowhunting as well (3yrs)and have found this to be a great place to learn. I'll speculate that if your not flying true, it could be one of many things, but ultimately it is affecting your accuracy - your just compensating for it. Either your arrows are not stiff enough, your rest not centered properly, or your fletch is rubbing on release. I'd suggest that you try to shoot at your local pro shop and get their assistance. It is a problem, but one that can be fixed - good luck and I hope that my .02 helps.

That was good advice. It's likely a spine, centershot or contact issue. A pro can help you sort it out. Make sure you do, as if you don't your penetration and accuracy will probably suffer.

I agree with above and will add form into the picture. If you torque the bow fishtailing will show. Download eastons tuning guide from there website and learn how to tune a bow, it is a great help.

do you think maybe I am shooting to light an arrow point(75 grains) and to stiff a shaft(2018)?

I agree that you should take it to a good shop and have it set up well and make sure it's tuned properly. If you're getting contact, switch to feathers.

God bless,

Moose,
Did you get this solved. I would bet $ to donuts its a spine issue. By the way some old timers say that you cannot get one too stiff. Theoretically that's not so. The tuning guide offers some 123 on it. If your arrows are close to a match on the easton board then I'll bet you have contact. Spray down the fletching with foot powder and see if any rubs off. Mechanical release is presumed.

Try fiddling around with spine size, and paper tune yor bow until you get perfect hits.
