Many years ago I started bare shaft tuning my bows and arrows. I got so that I could shoot bare shafts out to 50 plus yards and it really helped with my form. If I did everything right the arrow flew like the proverbial dart and if I was off at all in my form the arrow went nuts. I started shooting bare shafts at 3D shoots and for practice but I had trouble seeing them in a lot of lighting conditions until today. I cut some strips from white rabbit fur and glued them to my arrows, no feathers at all. It works great!!!!! I can follow the arrow all the way to the target and it really shows up when it hits. Any flaws really show up. I am going to make up a dozen arrows and shoot nothing but now that I can see them. Has anyone else tried this? FRJ
No, but don"t try to shoot broadheads.
That is any interesting thought. The Native Americans sometimes shot arrows with no fletching.
Well, I hope you got lots of arrows. One pluck of the string, that arrow is going to fly sideways to the target.
I myself do not have alot of money for arrows.
was andering if the arrows fly flatter and faster at 50yds.
Sounds like a great way to work on shooting form. I'll incorporate that into practice. I'd always assumed bad bare arrow flight was mostly from poor bow set up, but then I know I can make a feathered shaft wiggle plenty from a poor release.
