I think arrows are 2 stiff :(

[vertek]

i think my arrows might be 2 stiff.
I have a samick agulla, an 34# kap challenegr limbs.
I have (roughly) 30.5" draw.
arrows are xx75 plat plus 2115's
Bare shaft is goin left bout a meter on a 18m target.
I messed around with button with little difference, and i dont "pluck" the string on release.
I dont know whats wrong .

Any ideas ?
thanks
Seb.

Right handed?

lol forgot thaT
yea.
its just annoying that they go left cos i have to extend sight pin as far out as possible and i still have to aim in the red to hit gold.
my groupin is good just i think my arros go 2 far left.

Try changing your bracing height. Incorrect bracing height can give a false impression of incorrect arrow stiffness. I always struggle to remember which way to go (its an age thing) but I think if the bare shaft is going left then the bracing height may be too low.

its 2 high if anything .
Thanks.

Assuming the limbs are rated 34lbs @ 28in you're probably drawing about 38-39lbs with a 30.5in draw length.

So yes, 2115s are almost certainly too stiff. The only thing you can do that will have any significant effect is to increase bow weight, but I'm not sure you can increase it enough given your set up and draw.

If you can't make the bow faster by increasing poundage, can you up the speed by making the string lighter? Fewer strands, less serving, no brass nock points.
Some string materials are faster than others so a new string might help.
If that's not an option, you could try slowing things down, to see if that makes things worse. If it does, then at least you know more about the problem and have a better idea of where to go next.

Another solution is to put some jazz points (1816's) hot melted into the back of the nibb points. I did it with my old 2115 X7''s and they fly fine. No good for outdoors though 25m max.

Too stiff. Increase bow poundage, shoot with a thinner string, add weight to the points.Soften button and move sights. My Fatboys bareshafts go 6 foot to the left. The fletched fatboys go where I aim, but outdoors with Navigators I use a different button and arrow rest, as well as a faster string and change the sight position.

Well arrows are 2 stiff then.
I dont think ill be able to increase my setup by 2#s, but ill try different things.
Thanks.
Prob have to get new arrows, ohh well you learn from your mistakes.
