Large shafts & small shaft effect accuracy?

[rembrandt]

When you put a level on the large shaft and set the D-loop to that level and then you shoot the smaller shafts, I have found that you have to lower the sight to compensate or you get a high shot......Am I right on this? Anyway, I'm out of the X ring and off target with the thinner shaft.

Probably need to adjust the rest when you switch around.

Weight difference?

What rest are you using?

Yes if you are tuned to a large shaft and switch to a smaller dia shaft you will be nock high and hit low if the arrow weighs the same.

I moved from "standard" shafts (GT, Victory, CX) to Easton Axis arrows. Penetration improved considerably. Based on my grouping at 40+ yards, you might be able to conclude that there was less drift from crosswinds.

I'm using the Limbdriver rest......

Yes, thats why I have to lower the sight just a bit to get it on target. I had to lower the sight some and I was following the arrow. I have marks on my HHA sight strip just a smidgion above the 20yd mark for the X-cutters.

Thats it, how did you figure that out?

I agree, you have to retune for nock height to get the best performace from switching over

Not sure now what I want to do. I'll try the X-Cutters for awhile at 3-D but it seems I always migrate back to the .22s. I just like that arrow.....
