Arrow ?

What spined arrow should i shoot out of my bendy handle D bow  I'm pulling 50lb at my 27" draw length.  The handle is rectangular with the corners rounded.  1-3/8ths inches wide at the grip/handle and 3/4 of an inch thick.  thanks

an arrow that is spined at 45-50 lbs

Well, i've tried arrows 40-45and they fly high and to the left.  Dropped  down to 40-45 and 30-35lb and they all hit high and to the left.

Can't your bow and increase point weight. Then use 4-5" fletching... They should straighten out.

What is the length length of your arrows? Commercial shafts are spined for a 28" arrow with a 125gr point attached. For each inch over 28" you can subtract 5# of spine weight and for each inch less than 28" you can add 5# of spine weight. Heavier points weaken the spine of an arrow. I draw 26". I cut my arrows to 30"(2" over 28" = -10#). So an arrow commercially spined for
50#-55# but cut to 30" would have an effective spine weight(shoot like) of 40#-45#.
 I think longer arrows "get around" a selfbow better too when shot.

the length varies from 28 to 30 inches.   I will leave the arrows longer when i want a lighter spine shaft.   For example,i have a 40lb@28" that is cut to 30" leaving me with a 30lb arrow.  That arrow shot to the left 6" at 10 yards and high 6".  Every arrow i shoot seems to fly great.  They don't hit knock left or knock right in the target. I use a 6" brace and knock the arrow 1/8th inch above horizontal.  That's always worked for me.

Your arrows seem to be consistant. Maybe you need to aim more to the right.
  As far as shooting high try raising your noch a bit more. I usually start at 3/8" above horizontal but I nock my arrow above the nock.

Hold low and to the right. Sorry about that,couldn't help myself. I usuall go about 10lbs under bow weight on not center shot selfbows.  Also if the arrow in right on the top of you hand ,like I make mine,cant a little more.That will move the arrow right. As long as the arrow flies good,not kicking tail high or tail low .Or kicking left or right I will adjust the grip or cant a little more or a little less with each bow. None or the same.

Appreciate all the suggestions.  I shot a red oak flat bow that i just finished and it shot well for me.  No left or right problems.   So it may not be a problem with my form.   tomorrow i will take my D bow out and raise the nocking point first and then shoot it.  If that don't work i will cant the bow to see if i can "walk" that arrow over.  Might even try four fletches if necessary.  Gonna try one thing at a time.   This is the same bow that i posted pics of on here a few weeks ago for a tiller check.
