I am having a problem with my arrows fishtailing on longer shots( better than 35 yards ) I am thinking my shafts are too light. I'm shooting a 28" 300 series carbon express radial x weave with a 100 grain tip. shooting at 70 lbs. any suggestions?

What's thr grains pre inch weight of your arrows?

 

[southernfire97]

don't know goodtime. I would have to look that up.

Give me a run down of your setup. Bow,rest,vanes. Some bows with a hard cam like a PSE X-FORCE on 70# you may need to step up to a 400 series. But i'm thinking it's the rest. Not runing true to center shot. Or vanes are hitting rest at launch.

fast your old man set it up when I bought it from him last year. pse stinger, whisker buscuit rest, 4" vanes. Me and gary (magnoliagamecalls) are both having fishtailing issues. he is shooting a diamond bow I believe. We both have always shot aluminum arrows and are wondering if the carbons were catching wind or if somehow it was an operator error.

are your vanes wavy mine did that with a whisker rest went to the blazer vanes and did just fine

Hey boy! if i had to guess I would say it's all operator error.

 

[fastarrow]

I think your rest needs to be retuned.

 

[southernfire97]

firekilla, I learned it all from you!!!

 

[southernfire97]

fast I'm gonna take it up to the shop and let big chuck look at it. I don't like messin with it during season unless its really messed up.

 

[firekilla85]

Haha heard that!  Could be torquin that thing a little or she could be out of tune.  my guess.

 

[southernfire97]

yea its probably me doing it. I'm famous for being inconsistant!!! fire, you got us some thunder chickens lined out or what?

 

[firekilla85]

You know it. I got to get my buddy from kentucky in and when he leaves we can get after them. that is if we don't kill'em all the first week.

 

[firekilla85]

You got a 20 on some hogs down that way?

 

[southernfire97]

yea we seen a big herd the other day. couldn't figure out how to catch one with the baitcaster though. The high water has had them bunched up. easy targets right now. weathers gettin right for some trap action. I don't like runnin up the river when its cold.

 

[firekilla85]

Got dogs need hogs.
