Today I started shooting the new arrows out of my 45 lb Samick Sage Take-down Recurve. This was the first tuning session and I will be trying more combinations as I get some time. It is also worth noting that I am not paper tuning or bare shaft tuning at this point because I am still working on my release. I am just kind of eye-balling the angle of the shaft in the target. This is just my way of doing it for right now. Once I get a set up for paper tuning then I will give that a shot. Ok now for the results:
I am currently shooting a 32 inch long 5575 Gold tip traditional shaft with the standard insert and 125 grain saunders combo point. The fletching is 5.5 inch pope and young cut feathers. The feathers are fletched at 90 degree interval, so 4 fletchings per arrow.
Bow is a 45 lb Samick Sage with a 7 1/4 inch Brace Height. Just to clarify that measurement was taken using the a typical brace height measuring tool. Clipped on the string and measuring to the back of the riser. I think I am drawing about 29 inches when I am doing things correctly.
At about 9 yards the arrows fly better than expected. Honesty I could probably change nothing an be just fine. If I short draw the bow then the arrow just shows to be just a little stiff. When draw back completely the arrow is pretty straight into the target. Today I am not checking nocking point, just trying to get left and right ready.
Tomorrow I will try to add 100 grain brass inserts and different point weights to see what kind of flight I get. Trying to get optimal flight is best obtained one step at a time. Thanks, maybe pictures on the next time
