Just looking for a sanity check.

I'm a lefty and my bareshaft is hitting nock left.  That's a stiff arrow reaction, right?  

Thanks.

Based on my limited experience; yes, arrow may be stiff. Other factors may be release or brace height.

I'm a new-b too, but my understanding was w/bareshafting you're looking at impact point and the difference between your fletched arrows and the bareshaft arrows and not necessarily the direction of nock...I may be wrong though...Good luck.

What distance are you shooting with nock left? if you are too close the arrow could still be in paradox.

I shot all winter indoors at 10-12 yds and the nock position never concerned me. The point did.

Cane and Magnolia tend to make good arrow.

He says dont worry about nock position. impact is more important. Tune using this method and your issues will be gone.
