Hello All,
I'm shooting a Cartel Fantom riser with 70", 34 pound SF maple laminate limbs with a custom bow string. My arrows are Beman bow hunter with a 500 spine and 100 grain field points.
Last shooting session I tried shooting an unfletched arrow at 10 yards. This was an impromptu act so I hadn't put a match stick in the plunger as suggested in "Tuning for Tens."
The unfletched arrow struck the target with the knock to the right. I mean, severely to the right. The arrow was at an approximately 45 degree angle to the target face.
I interpret this to mean the arrow is to stiff.
Should I go with a lower spine (600) or try using a lighter point? With the arrow hitting the target at that severe an angle, I'm concerned its a waste of time.
What do you guys think?
