Thanks for replying Willie
I hadn't thought about the brace height, and now that you mention it I remember noticing that my new string seemed to stretch some and the brace height was shorter. Maybe I'll have to shorten up my string some.
I am a righty, and Shoot off of my knuckle. To my bare eyes, and my father's, there was pretty minimal flex in the arrow when shot.
And thanks for the tip of checking out TSA's posts, there's definitely a lot of good information there!
do you have a tip or point you can add to see what changes? there are a lot of variables to tweak, but knowing if the stiffness of the arrow is in the ballpark is the first thing I would try to find out.
Basically, shortening the arrow makes it "act" stiffer, and more tip weight makes it "act" less stiff.
the pic in the link was more related to comparing field points to broadheads, and maybe not too applicable at this point.
a basic observation is also whether the arrow nock end is skewed right or left when the arrow is stuck in the target. you can actually see the arrow fly "sideways" somewhat as you shoot.
feathers correct poor flight making tuning harder until you get close, but on the other hand bare shaft tuning can be aggravating because small differences in arrows, bows/brace height and shoothing form, all affect arrow flight.
i would try to understand what differences in arrow stiffness does before trying to tweak too many thing at the same time or adding feathers.
