Thanx for your input but I seemed to have fixed it with a heavier fiield point.
Arrows are new Gamegetter 500's with a single spiral wrap feather. They seem a touch overspined for that fletch style .
Thing I found odd was bare shaft & normal 3 or 4 fletch works fine. Use Legacy 2016's as a rule bought the GG's as expendables.

I'm glad it worked out for you!! I forgot to mention that a heavier point would in effect, weaken the spine.

So, this is the end result of desiring a longbow, yet being unable to find a suitable one in my price range:





Patterned loosely after English longbows. Carved from a piece of red oak, handle is backed with pine. I can't remember what type of thread I used when making the bow string. The draw measured about 80# at 29 inches.
