Arrow flight?

Recommended Posts

I was shooting my new Maxxis 31 the other day and I was seeing at 30 and 40 yrds. my arrow flight was good 3/4 of the way and the at the end just before it hit the target it looked like it was knucleballin' in the rest of the way. It was kinda wavy. But at 20 yrds. I am dead nutz! I mean dead on!!! I'm using Beman ics elite 400s with 4" duravanes at a 29" draw and 55# with a 100 grain tip. Sould I go to a heavier tip? maybe bring it up to 60#? or something? Any advice would be awesome!

Arrow flight?

Eyes playing tricks, maybe? Field tipped arrows, once fully corrected (usually by 12 to 15 yards), don't uncorrect theirselves. I think I said that right. What sometimes happens, light or whatever, one sees the odd vane or does not see the dark vane (s) and you see what you think is the arrow corkscrewing.

If the arrow paper checks well, if the bow is Walk back tuned, then the arrow isn't misbehaving down range.

Try this, place a large sheet of paper in front of the target at the distance you see this - leave enough room between the paper the target so the arrow doesn't touch before impact. Clean hole, okay. Ragged hole, then you have a problem.
