Bare shaft tuning info

[enewman]

Would drag and extra weight from fletching and the BH make the POIs different? BH likely impacting lower even at close distances?

Yes it can be done. But Some broadheads just don't fly the same. If they are close. Then adjust your sight and go hunt.

If you want to see if you can get it closer. Then take a bare shaft with field point. Shoot it at 20 yards with a fletch arrow. and see how it flys. Repost the results.

This is mine at 20 yards. I have not shot a broadhead with this set up yet

doesn't get much better than that.

Ok at 20 yards. The fletch one is with a Zwickey delta 240 gn broadhead.

So yes I can shoot a fletch broad head arrow and a bare shaft together.

Set your bow up to shoot above 280 fps, then do that at 50 yards.
I will truly be impressed then.

Thought the challenge was for a bare shaft with broadhead to impact same as field point with fletching?

Either was @ 20 looks as if your good to go!

How far from the target is your paper?

Rocky did you forget I'm short. Hard to get to 280 Haha. After the hunt in a couple of weeks. I'll try that. Then I guess will see if I'm good,lucky, or just full of crap. Haha I'm leaning toward the last.

Everything so,far has been at 20 yards. But I've came along way since I started this post back,in October 2014. I'll wrte a post later in more detail. But I'm going to test a fast arrow like rocky stated to see if I can do the same.

But that will be after my hunt at the kjo March 9.

Actually interested to see if it can be done.
Like I said, I've never bare-shaft tuned myself, so it's hard for me to understand the whole concept.
2 totally different projectiles impacting the same?

This is the best at 40 yards. Bare is right below the right arrow. I need to practice more.

X2 here!

My question is how far from the target is the paper? In the pics it looks like the target is right behind the paper and the target stops the arrow from passing completely through the paper before making contact with it.

I had that paper on the target. I could not see the arrows against the black face on target. I was testing to see if arrow was weak or stiff. I came to the conclusion. It's easier to get a spine tester. Then use them numbers on the ontarget program.

Well I've been paper tuning for over twenty years and the paper should not be up against the target. It should be close to you and the arrow should pass completely through the paper before it contacts the target. An arrow flexes when it hits the target and will create a tear from that even if you have a well tuned and spined set up.

He is not attempting to read a tear. Your method is proper if you are reading a tear, that's not what Newman is doing here.
