Well i bought a switchback about 5 days ago and it groups and shoots awesome. But when the arrow flys i notice a lttle bit of fishtailing, so i bumped my bow from 63 lbs. to 71lbs i maxed it out, and it shoots awesome there is no fishtailing whatsoever. The only problem is, is that i cannot draw 70 lbs. very well, i just shot like 20 arrows a 70 and i cant even feel my arms. [:-] Could this be from the arrows i am shooting 29 in. draw 30 in arrows with a 63lb draw wieght and they fishtail but at 70 lbs with every thing the same the fly fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i am shooting 100 gr. tips

You're still getting that fish tail? Hmmmmmmm! I'll have to do some snoopin around tonight at the club and see what our big dogs say.

You are awesome, I hope i can get this figured out. The guy i bought it from is being an a$$. I told him about it and he said dont worry about it your groups are good and you are hitting the target awesome. I just want my arrow to fly straight. But i just cant do this 70 lb. draw wieght

Deer-hunter18 work your self up to 70lbs. do it over a couple of weeks you'll be suprised how your muscles will build up. We have a long time till next season. Rich

Most likely it sounds like when you bumped up the weight something in the nocking point placement moved which corrected your problem.(for now) Was your bow paper tuned at 63#? You could have a clearance problem or just a not quite perfectly tuned bow. Hitting your target is fine but if your arrow isn't flying straight you'll severely limit penetration. The guy who told you not to worry is a moron.

Sounds like your arrow is acting to stiff, try 125 or 150 grain tips and see what they do, you'll lose some speed but they will weaken the arrow spine slightly.

What kind of rest are you using? It may be a rest problem. Did you paper tune your bow when you set it up?

since you have maxed it out try to back both limbs off an equal amount of turns to get to the weight you want make sure you back the limbs off the same, your tiller might have been off

I am shooting a trohpy ridge drop zone. I think i have the problem nailed i called Mathews and he said my arrows were undersplined, I am order gold tips pro hunters in the 7595 size.
