RE: FITA shooters
Interesting Mark. My brother has always claimed his Kota longbow Isn't center shot. I've argued with him that It Is or at least damn close to It. Anyway what I'm getting at Is he pulls 52lbs at 26.5" shooting 1916 arrows (470 grains total weight) with great arrow flight. The other day while stumping he asked me If he could try shooting my 2216's (614 grains total weight) to see how good of arrow flight he got. They flew beautiful out of his longbow the whole time. That tells me his longbow Is pretty damn center shot.
On center shot bows a person pulling lighter draw weights can get away with more I think when using stiffer spined arrows.

He gets away with it due to the tunability of the bow. The sight windowson olympic style recurves, are typically cut way past center; much like a compound. With the use of a cushion plunger, one can tune extremely stiff arrows for draw weight by adjusting center shot and adjusting spring stiffness in the plunger.Several years ago, before I got in to 3D,I use to shootan indoor league in Nashville. My indoorbowwas aFITArig pulling 40#. Using an adjustable cavalier plunger and a simple magneticflipper rest, I was able to tune a 2020. The total arrow weight put my point onjust under the bull at 20 yards withmy anchor point.
