If my arrows are shooting a little bit to the left what does that mean? I recently got some FMJs and used brass inserts in them. So I have a heavier arrow with a lot heavier point. I didn't change the poundage of the bow just to see what would happen, and it seems to me that they are a little to the left. Does that mean anything?

Heavier tips will weaken the spine. Shooting to the left may or may not be a result of the added tip weight. If you remove the weight, do they go back to center? -
I can't remove the extra weight, the insert is brass. Just in general does shooting to the left mean weak or stiff shafts?Comment

what grain field tips are you using now?Comment

It doesn't really indicate either.Originally posted by RUNNING BEAR View Post
It just indicates that with the new dynamics of the arrow, it impacts left of where it used to.Comment

If you’re a righthanded shooter shooting to the left (nock right) means your arrows are too stiff and shooting to the right (nock left) means your arrows are too weak. This is true for traditional archery equipment anyway(don’t know what it would mean for compounds). I see your holding a longbow and are right handed in your pic so this would be true for you. Its hard to get carbons with a weak enough spine for trad bows #50 and under. The only ways to weaken the spine would be to shoot longer shafts which is probably too late, use a thinner sideplate, or use heavier points. If your close you could try a skinny string or raise your brace height a little. Is it a longbow and what poundage?Comment

Stiff or weak I don't know but if it's consistent and not fish tailing why not just move your pins to compensate.Comment

Its not a trad bow, its a compound. And I haven't tried to shoot it through paper yet, I was just worried that I had a weak arrow. So in theory, if I have a stiff arrow I can bump up the poundage to compensate for the stiffness?Comment
