Castle Oak 2
Six Pointer
Until this year I have never worried much about tuning arrows. Over the years though, I have noticed that one or two arrows out of a dozen just would not fly consistently and would perform especially poorly with fixed blade broadheads. I shoot Carbon Express Maxima Hunters-maybe that's the problem, just kidding. So, I decided to do some bare shaft nock tuning through paper of a couple of my problem arrows. What I found was quite surprising so I decided to strip some of my better flying arrows and test them. Just by turning the nock a few degrees, I would have an arrow go from shooting a bullet hole to a 1" tear. When it would consistently shoot a bullet hole, I marked the shaft/nock and refletched. Groupings with the nock tuned arrows shrunk to the point that I could consistently get 1" groups at 40 yards with field points and broadheads. I'm sure I'm behind the curve on this but since I'm bored to death I needed to do something. So, there you go.
