The below, arrow tuning tips are from the 2013, 3Rivers Archery Longbow & Recurve Experts catalog.
Updated FYI ... (It was kindly pointed out that the below information is from a finger-shooting catalog. I guess the principles don't apply to crossbow shooting then. Oh well, please read for entertainment purposes only.

In Regards to a Right Handed Shooter (reverse for left)
- An arrow impacting point left of target and/or arrow nock right is TOO STIFF arrow spine.
- An arrow impacting point right of target and/or arrow nock left is TOO WEAK arrow spine.
-- To correct an arrow that is too stiff, add additional point weight.
-- To correct an arrow that is too weak, add additional nock weight, or cut the shaft shorter.

The above type of information is the type I enjoy learning.
Anyone have similar crossbow, arrow, string knowledge they can share?
Too many times things we think "everyone knows" aren't as well known as we thought.
All the best,

Too much guitar playing I guess, pluck, pluck, pluck. I fully expect to see a great shooter buck this fall. He will see me from afar, notice I have my recurve and not my crossbow - and then calmly walk out broadside at 30 yds and feed, and maybe even lay down. Probably roll on his back for awhile-take a nice nap and then stand up look at me and wink, and then just walk away.
