Fishtailing, What Fix? And another question

[scmelik]

I am attempting to get my Elite Pure tuned up and am running into something that doesn't make sense to me. I have paper tuned my bow and got a good bullet hole, last night I was walk back tuning and got a nice straight line out to 50 yards after alittle working. The problem is that I am getting some serious fishtailing and I am not sure why. I need to get broadhead tuned as well, but I don't want to even attempt it without getting the fishtailing problem. I am shooting at roughly 67lbs, 29 inch draw, arrows are FMJ 340's 28.5" with 100gr. points.

Any ideas on what might be going on and what I should do to fix it?



Also I am getting a very noticeable metallic ping on the shot. I have put felt on the shelf, and the screws are tight. Anyone else notice this sound on the Pure?

Sounds like maybe fletching contact. What rest you using, ping could be from fletching hitting the rest.

Yeah I'd agree, either fletching contact or grip issue. I'd bet if you moved back on your paper tuner you'd get a rt or left tear.

Try bareshaft tuning at 20 yards. This will give you a true reference to see if it is you or the arrows making them fishtail.

What yardage are the arrows starting to fishtail? From what I read they are tuned straight to 50yrds? So beyond that?

[Maybee-R]

I agree Id check for clearance and go ahead and broadhead tune. You will know then if its messed up.

Mine were doing that and I figured out that my rest had dropped down and I was getting contact with the shelf
