Arrow Problem?
 
I bought 6 Victory V Force 300arrows last night. I took them out and shot them at 20and 30 yardsthey hit good at 40 they start to go a little right and at 50 they are about 4"-5" right. That is with field tips. I am shooting a Guardian at 60lbs, 28in draw my arrows are 27in with 3 blazers, 100gr tips. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

Could be a number of things ranging from wrong spine arrows to bow tune to shooter.

Or a combination of all of the above.

I have 2 GT 5575 and they don't hit right like that. Did the shop sell me the wrong spined arrows?

If they are a 300 spine arrows yes they did.


For your draw lenght, draw weight and arrow lengthyou need something in the 400 spine maybe even a 500 spine.

Edit the 5575 are a 400 spine.

Thank You. He said the 300 and 400 were the samearrows just different numbers on the shaft. I will be getting new arrows Monday. Will Carbon Express Maximas be ok set up the same way. 27", 100gr heads, 3 blazers or should I go a little longer? Thanks for the help.

yeah right they have those numbers for a reason, he is an idiot and if it was me I would be finding another shop preferrable one that knows what they are talking about.

Yes the CX 250's are a 400 spine shaft and should work well.

I won't be going back to that shop. I had not been there for a few years so I stopped to look around ( Iguess Iwasn't missing much if he can't even sell a person the right arrows)and decided to give the Victory arrows a try. I think I will get some Maximas set up the same way. Thank You again!

Could be bad centershot, bad spine. Have you paper tuned or walk back tuned the bow?

I didn't have the problem with shooting right until I got the Victory arrows. My 2 GT 5575'sdon't shoot right. I shot a couple CXTerminator Lite Selects and they didn't shoot right either.

Every arrow has to be tuned for the bow. Again, have you papertuned, bareshafted, or walkback tuned the bow? When you release an arrow, it bends or ossilates. I can have my bow shooting a wrong spine great, and put the correct one in, and be off.

RE: Arrow Problem?
 
I have not paper tuned or any other tune since I got the new arrows. I think the shop I usually go to is open tomarrow. Should I go and shoot it through paper to see?

RE: Arrow Problem?
 
Paper is only one thing. My favorite way is bareshaft tuning. Just shoot some bare shafts along with fletched and move the rest to match the two different arrows. If you can eyeball the rest and you have to go a whole lot towards the riser or opposite, you got the wrong spined arrows.

Ok. I will go to the shop and try it out. Thank You for the help.
