Next time I post a question, I will try to remember to put in these details. Honestly I wasn't thinking that far into it last night when I wrote the post.

As was I. Another point to mention is if you are concerned about ruining fletcing, nocks, etc., shoot at targets with multiple bulls. This will eliminate your problem.

this is very true. I will do this in my normal practice going forward. something else I need to mention is the robin hood, shot fletchings etc. occured while I was fine tuning the 30 and 40 yard pins on my new sight.....that's when my arrow supply started deminishing

Thanks to everyone for thier help.

So, what arrows do you have and what arrows are you thinking about buying from your buddy?

this last february we had a gun show over here in Idaho and they set up a bow shooting machine. this thing holds the bow perfectly still. it releases perfectly every time. im sure you have seen them. anyways, they shot a cheap $300 dollar bow with cheap arrows and an old TM hunter fork rest out of this machine all weekend. they shot it at a foam target at 20 yards and at the end of the weekend, there was only one hole in the target...........ONE HOLE! every arrow hit exactly the same spot. it made a believer out of me. it is all about form.
i hope you all find this as amazing as i did.

Try that with a 300 spined Easton AXIS and then with out changing a thing shoot a Gold Tip 35/55 and then tell me that form is everything.

To avoid damaging the arrows that you have , shoot at different spots on the target . You won't be busting arrows and ripping fletching ......

BB,
In many ways, you're way ahead of them. I can see both side of it though. If the spine and diameters are the same, there wouldn't be much difference in the POI. I also see where he's trying to go with this, and can understand his thought process. MOST shooters would notice very little difference in a .003 and a .005 straightness arrow. Some may see a little difference, but your "average" archer ain't gonna notice a whole lot of difference, especially when shooting FP's. Screw on some BH's and its a WHOLE different story, but w/ FP's, that difference isn't going to be that extreme in all honesty.

As for arrows costing $120/dozen......Call me cheap, but I ain't ever gonna pay that for a dozen arrows. I shoot CHEAPER arrows, but they also have good spec's, and I've shot more expensive arrows w/ similar specs and found that the arrows I shoot are just as good as the more expensive stuff, in some cases better.

hey dude i shoot with a big bunch of different weight, spine arrows for practice i do believe that it helps me be more accurate because when i can group a dozen of them at 20 yds in a 3 in group im good to go !!! and some time i clip a r h !!!!!!!! yehaaaaaa

I agree,the average shooter won't notice much differance.
And I agree with other posters shoot at multiple bulls,it will help you learn better form,because its harder to hit that spot everytime when theres not a pile of arrows to aim at!
