How do I know if my arrow spine is too weak?
If the arrow’s spine is too weak or too stiff the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight. If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating) it’s going to veer off target. Likewise if the arrow is unforgivingly stiff it also won’t follow the path the archer intends.
Why do my arrows not fly straight?
If your arrows are not spined correctly for your draw weight length and arrow weight it can cause erratic arrow flight. That erratic arrow flight might not show up when shooting field points but as we stated earlier can be dramatically magnified when shooting broadheads.
Why do my arrows fly sideways?
If you put any sideways pressure on the string with your release aid (it is easy to do by drawing the bow too far so that your string elbow points too far behind you) this will also cause sideways string travel.05-Dec-2012
Why am I always shooting to the right with my bow?
For right-hand shooters this most commonly means leftward impact. Gripping bows too aggressively or the side weight of accessories (especially loaded bow quivers) cocks the upper limb right. Your sight pin is centered but the arrow rest has swung left directing arrows in the same direction.29-Jul-2014
