Beadman is spot on . My handles are cut to the center of the string. I will try to show pic but I am having problems with sizing of pics. There is a difference in speed and arrow flight. I shoot 57 spine arrows out of a 47# bow at my draw. They fly fine . I do cant my bow to about 1 o'clock .

  I  do agree Pappy.....obviously, closer to centre shot is less work for the arrow to get around the handle...and closer to centre will allow for a bigger variety of spine....I just meant that if the arrow is too weak, centre shot or not it ,can still break the arrow...so some arrow matching is still necessary....I find if my handle is no wider than 1 inch....I usualy go  for 7/8"....then it isnt much bother to match arrows that will fly straight and it  will still tolerate a variety of spines,  within reason....

anyway, Nsherve...you should have all the info you need  now...good luck

As far as shooting the same arrow off all my bows . Yes and no. The arrows always need to be properly matched to the bow they are shot from. I do have more than one pro shooter shooting the same arrow off their selfbow that they shoot off their long bows of approximately the same bow weight. The cleaner the the arrow comes off the bow the longer the flight you will get. Badger will probably agree with this . He gets them arrows out there pretty far!  Arvin

Centre shot does not make a bow capable of shooting any arrow.

Maybe not, but some expert archers appreciate it for what it's worth.   >:D
