    Top pic is about 18 yrds. Bottom is 10 yrds. Ready for broadheads?

      Oh, and I am left handed.

        Looks pretty good, and will probably work OK right there, but I think you could stand a little more tweaking.

        Looks like they are still shooting a little bit to much weak.

        What is your brace height set to?

        If not pretty low already, you might drop it about 1/4", and see what you get there. If it stiffens them up to much, just start raising the brace & testing 1 full twist at a time until you are satisfied.

          Thanks, Rick. I am down to 28.5 inch arrow w/ 150 grain field point, 50 gr insert, 1.75 inch aluminum footing, 510 gr. total weight. I'd rather not cut any shorter, (mainly because I have footing permanently glued down on both ends), and would rather not go down to 125 grain head to keep FOC good. I will play w/ brace, I am a tad over 7.25 right now.

            I've always felt that recurve shooters should tune their arrows to finish 2" in front of your bow
            Target shooters have their clickers monted out on their target arm. It's easier to tune a longer shaft. You can do a lot more with a longer arrow. And they weigh more.

              Doc, I think you're close enough you won't need to alter the arrows from where you have them.

              Just need to do a little tweaking with brace height if possible, and if you can't do it there you can build your strike plate out just a tiny bit to achieve the same thing.

              For future reference - what Jack said about leaving the arrows a little long is a good recommendation also. I've always liked for my arrows to be a little longer (1.5 - 2 inches) than what my draw dictates them to be.

                If your aiming point is the white square I think you're good to go. The unfletched is still showing a bit weak but I like to leave mine a bit weak. When you fletch them they tend to shoot a bit stiffer. The only other thing I might do is play with the nock height a bit, it might be a bit high.

                I also like to tune my arrows a bit long as Rick an CaptJack said.

                    Yes, aiming at white square. I draw about 27 inches, so I figured a 28.5 inch arrow would be ok. I never dreamed I would possibly need 7595 arrows to get this bow tuned. Hopefully not. I'll play with brace height and broadheads when I get a chance.
