Floating Arrows?
I read a thread recently that made reference to this. I believe it was in the tech forum here at HNI but i'm not for sure, i read alot. I think the idea of this is to find the stiffest side of the arrow and index your nocks so you are shooting each arrow the same. If this is correct how do you do it??

How do you know when you have found the stiff side?

If you rotate several arrows and they all create a nock left tear, move your rest towards the bow a tad. If you start seeing a nock right tear, you have reached the point of clearance issues. And most likely, the shaft is too weak for your bow.
Now on occassion,a fewarrows, I have found a nock left tear and turned and nock right tear, and maybe an ok side or sometimes a high tear or low tear. Usually I won't even use those for practice. Anymore I have been sending the back to the mfg. and making them replace them. And they have. I have to admit, carbon express has been good at making them right. Beman, argued with me, and it wasn't worth the hassle.
I won't put a broadhead on an arrow that doens't shoot bullet holes on all sides. But if the arrow is right for the bow, I find that 70% of the arrows should shoot well out of a dozen.
