Where is the balance point on the arrow, end to end?

[Deerhunter21]

Pretty much right in the middle

You may need more tip weight. Maybe wrap wire around the shaft behind the nut. Weight forward leads to better arrow flight.

while its flying the back is wobbling left and right. would adding more tip weight fix this??? i feel like the back and right wobbling is throwing the tip off and if i am going to hunt with this arrow, i want it as consistent as i can have it. the arrow is about... oh.... 12.5 gpp if my bow is 50Lb... i dont have a specific weight for my bow. but i know its around 50-55

Adding tip weight will reduce the effective spine of the arrow. Spine effects left and right wobble. Up and down is effected by nock point height.

Check out BowEd's thread, FOC%, on Shooting and Hunting. FOC stands for forward of center, referring to weight balance of an arrow, basically weight forward arrows.

ok. i think i can do the FOC thing.

What is really confusing me is why my arrow is wobbling right and left. feeling the stiffness of the arrow, it is the stiffest arrow i have. none of my weaker arrows do this. could it be that my string tracks in the middle of the handle at full draw and to the left of the handle at brace height?

If you add tip weight you reduce the effective spine making the arrow fly like a weaker spined arrow.You can also sand the middle 1/3 of the arrow to reduce spine. I think shaft diameter also affects spine.
side to side movement is usually a spine problem.
Every string centers on the bow at full draw no matter if it is center shot or a 2" handle. Having the proper spined arrow can be shot from each well with a properly spined arrow for that bow.
 ...and you thought building bows was tough.

Ok… my foc is around 6%.

Are you sure I should weaken the shaft even though the nock of the arrow is tracking to the left???

[Deerhunter21]

Ok... i am so confused right now.... the arrow just did a FLIP when i shot it.... like... WHAT? the arrow that has the stiffest spine out of all my arrows is acting like the weakest..... im completely stuck! i dont know what to do! I guess ill make another one and see if that works out better? i broke the tip anyways but this is confusssssiiiinnng. wood arrows are confusssinnngggg

[Deerhunter21]

any ideas why this is though? seriously. i am lost.

When collecting natural shafting, some times you get a dud.
Does it shoot the same shooting stiff side out?
