I am attempting to tune my recurve by shooting through paper and need advice. The bow that I am shooting is a "Perry", probabaly made in the late 50's or early 60's and it is not a center shot. I know that my arrow will bend back and forth, at what yardage should it straighten out? How far back from the paper should I stand while shooting?
My draw length is 30", so I had some arrows cut at 31". I fletched them with three 5" feathers, helical, I have;
Aluminum 2117, 2216 and 2219
Carbon 5535
My bow measured 47# at 30"
I believe that I need a broadhead weighing at least 150 grains to give 10% F.O.C. Shooting broaheads is not a problem as I have my own backyard target and prefer to shoot them over field tips because I don't hunt with field tips. I really don't care for open on impact heads. Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
