    Is a common thought.

    Pretty sweet, eh? Dave Canterbury has a video outlining arrow basics, quite informative:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydnt2lzVxv8

    Basically, the 'archer's paradox' the string pushes on the rear of the arrow, which speeds up faster than the front, which causes the wrapping around the riser and the fishtailing flight you see. The second video, the last few shots, the lower spined weight arrow REALLY bends, then finally shatters. Notice the armour the shooter was wearing in anticipation of that?

    Now, back to this picture, considering you now see how much an arrow bends, and how much MORE a lighter arrow will bend and fishtail:



    ...the arrow on the left is my 5/16" arrow, and it's underspined for my bow, the arrow hit the target at about a 45 degree angle because it was fishtailing so extremely. The heavier spined arrows pretty much just went in straight.

    Your right but I suppose it is like the rifleing on the barrel of a gun in some ways if I had never been taught about the twist helping it go straight I would have though the world was mad

    Actually, you can make the arrow spin more or less with the angle you set the feathers at. Gain more accuracy, but lose arrow speed due to increased air resistance.

    I editted the above post a couple times, last one was adding the link to the video I mentioned......
