Has any one heard of clocking arrows

I've heard of it but never tried it. Not sure if I'm good enough shot to notice.
I do shoot my bareshaft a through paper and turn the nocks to get the best paper tear. I have to be shooting very solid to do that also.
Not sure if it really makes a big difference.

I agree. I doubt I shoot good enough. But it might be fun to test.
But I think if a bare shaft rotates its do to the tourque your appling to the string. There is no other way way a bare shaft should turn. I do know they do. Just from looking at them in the target when I shoot bare shafts

Yeah but then every arrow should be the same out of that bow?
You should try it and see.

Yes and that is what has me confused. Why does he have one brand one way and another brand going the opposite.

Well I'm not the right person to try and explain anything like that. I'm sure someone could.
I would guess maybe the way the fibres are wound and glued?
When the arrow flexes during flight that could cause it to rotate slightly ? Not sure

I learned of this from Jerry at SSA several years ago. So I tried it and started fletching my arrows accordingly.....Right rotation = right helical, left rotation = left helical......
There were two bears killed in Northern Alberta that couldnt tell the difference. And neither could I. But I certainly felt prepared and sure of my equipment!

Correction.....after finding my reading glasses and getting into the fine print on the link, I noticed a difference between what I had heard years ago and this article. I thought it was a rotation imparted by the bow. He seems to be saying the shaft itself is dictating the rotation. In my testing with the same shaft shot through different bows, I noticed that the same shaft reacted differently through different bows. So Now I dont know what to believe! A little more study is in order... |

Must not be arrow that dictates this if you saw different out comes with different bows. As long as all bows where tuned

I bet it has a lot to due where the stiff side of the arrow starts.

Im going to have to study this a little more before I am satisfied that I understand just exactly what is going on.

They were the same poundage, the same DL.....they were even the same model of the same brand. Basically identical twins. So, using the same arrow on identical bows with different results?  Hmmmmm. |

Weird I think for the average guy spine indexing and possibly weight matching would get the most results. And making sure the inserts is square for broadheads.
The guys that are shooting at a world or Olympic level may benefit from other tuning methods.
Honestly if i practiced as much as I dicked around and talked about equipment I would be way a better shot lol.
