My target practice range has a background of thick woodland.
Having entered my first outdoor competition yesterday it suddenly became clear that this woodland has been hiding the flight of my arrows from sight.
At the competition and with a clear background I saw the flight of my arrows clearly for the first time.
More significantly my arrows seemed to depart very side ways before straightening up compared with other archers who?s arrows appeared to travel much straighter from the off.
I thought this might just be perspective but when I stood behind other archers it still held true.
If this is true, what does it say about my tuning and what should I do to correct it?
I imagine it has something to do with my centre shot/plunger stiffness/arrow spine?
To get the results that bare shaft tuning suggests I should, I seem to have to maintain a very weak plunger setting which in turn suggests very stiff arrows but my arrows are well within the Easton recommended range for my draw.
My gut reaction is to increase my centre shot and stiffen my plunger?
