The pile weight will keep the front more or less on a line while the tails wave about. It would be better to get better flight especially in wind where the fishtailing can produce variations between the shots.
thanks geoff - you know when something thats been eluding your full comprehension is phrased in such a way it actually 'clicks' ?

now then - a single fishtail motion close to the bow - i assume a further tinkering (given that arrow spine and bow speed are fairly close) with button pressure one way or the other is the remedy ?
