There is a great thread going right now on bare shaft tuning, and comparing bare shaft groups to fletched groups. So here are my questions. If your fletched arrows are going to the center of the target, after a few rounds why keep shooting them? Why not just aim the bare shafts at the center and...

Greetings Gentlefolk...I come before you this fine morning to share with you what I have concluded is quite literally... "THE TRIAL BY FIRE" as it relates too... "WHICH BOWS ARE SHOOTERS FOR ME" (and which aren't) As a 57 year old life-long archer who once enjoyed a fair amount of success...

Due to a fire our supplier of Laminated Birch wood shafting is being closed out. What we have now is all we are going to have. Just a head's up: http://www.3riversarchery.com/Laminated+Birch+Wood+Shafts_i8050X_baseitem.html

I'm trying to put together a new lighter bow using longer shafts and 100 grain points for 3D. I know I'm pretty close on spine and I shot them full length with 100 grain points, point on target. Accuracy is spot on, shafts are touching, but the nock is kicking left a little. Can't I simply...

All of a sudden I have a need for good wooden arrows. :D Where should I go to find shafting that has been selected to be consistent both in weight and spine? -bm.

Is there such a thing? I tend to shorten my draw length when shooting from an elevated position and even lengthen it a little bit for longer shots. I know this affects how the arrow leaves the bow and am wondering if any particular shaft brand / material is more forgiving of these shooting...

This is simple one. If the shaft has no fleching. It should not rotate in the air correct? or dose the pardox have enough enegry to start the roll?

I know some people are terrified at the thought of bare shafting with broadheads. And I would be first to say if you do it, use some common sense and don't do it in any environment in which somebody or something could get hurt. But given some reasonable precautions, why be so terrified? I...

The questions about why bare shaft, how to get started, how to understand the physics behind arrow flight and paradox, and how to trouble shoot when bare shafting come up so often I feel like we need to do a word doc on it so we can just cut and paste a response. I am certainly not the expert...

I'm new to traditional archery, and I'm not completely "traditional".... but I'm trying to get there slowly but surely. :) Please don't shoot me! I started out buying carbon shafts, against the recommendations of some of my friends. My mistake. They didn't work out with my bow at all. I...

The questions are. How does one pick an arrow to start with to bare shaft? Is it by following the charts and pick an arrow from them? Should the starting length be full lenght to start with then cut it down until the proper flight is achieved? and what is the starting point weight? It seems to...

My father just pulled out some OLD stock - wing glass shafts number 6 and some number 9s... after getting a batch of older glass from ABK for a new bow (later to be given to the oldest boy). Is there any company still making the older glass shafting for heavy draw bows 60-70-80lbs? Or do I...
