Gotta try this out soon as possible- as much as I've read about it, I've not tried this...and it sounds far less ' loony overkill - rubber ducky ' than giving new shafts a bath to see which way they 'float' ( another method in Simon Needhams book...as much as i know 'bathing' can give you a reasonable guide - Your way sounds far more dynamic.
Smart work! and thanks for writing this one up!
The loose arrows could be anywhere out of the group in my case though they were never lower but slightly higher was not uncommon. What now interests me is, if you are bare shaft tuning and have not nock tuned your arrows in the first place how can you guarantee where the bare shaft should fly in relationship to your fletched arrows. the other thing to think about is your nocking point position after doing this exercise it is far easier to accuratly set your nocking point. ( Oh christ I have opened a can of worms ).

more info on changing nocks please.
