Unhappy AFB Clout Arrows Falling Short

Hi,

I have being dabbling with clout using my 40lb Flat Bow (68” with 29” draw). I am getting 180 yrds under favourable wind conditions, but with a headwind I am falling about 10 yrds short.

The rough plan is to get a 60lb longbow in the year, so for now I need to get a bit more distance out of the flat bow.

I have tried a faster string and my draw is maxed out, so that leaves the arrows.

I was wondering what piles and vanes are the best to achieve distance.

Presently I am using: -
5/16” P.O. Cedar
100g steel traditional taper-fit piles (Merlin)
4” shield cut fletching
Arrow coating Danish oil
Quicks traditional nocks

I am also Using a Cav’ elite tab

Any help appreciated folks
