I've done this on short distance (under 10m), shooting around a tree and hitting the target behind it. I used underspined crappy fibreglass arrows with plastic vanes and pushed them in towards the bow so that they were bent/deflected an inch or so upon release. (I also torqued the bow string but I'm not sure it's necessary, I did it it mostly because it felt cool)
The arrow then snaked widely and therefore curved around the tree.
Lars Andersen also shows this (on short distance) in this video: https://youtu.be/M-bI3n_rSBg, not sure excactly how he does it, but it's also a short distance so I'm guessing underspined arrows, not overly fletched, and intentional bad release?

I've had some arrows (fletched) fly a slightly horisontally curved path on distances around 15-20m, but not on purpose. Unfletched arrows (when bareshaft tuning) can take a really steep turn after 15-20m.

So I'm thinking curving arrows at slightly longer distances should be possible.

Linkboy bare shafts are 32", without point or nock. Measured three of them getting 81.4, 81.3, 81.3 cm (32"=81.28cm). GPI is specified at 7.4 for sp500 (7.34 to 7.56 in reality)

Ragnar, how are the arrowforge woodies in consistency? (grouping, weight, spine) And have you tried the maximal edges?

This seller seems good and reliable. Good feedback and knows his wares. My arrows are 32", that's the longest he has.

I'm also going to shoot wood/bamboo due to competition rules. It's a bit of a hassle since I prefer the ease of shooting carbons smile where do you buy your wood/bamboo arrows/shafts?

Hi!

First post  smile

Ordered a set of 12 32" (which is max for these) sp500 arrow shafts from hotm666 (same seller as bowhunter1809) on eBay. Good seller. Took 1.5 months for shipping but nothing broken. Shafts are $39 for 12 pc incl shipping to Sweden. Search for linkboy carbon shafts on eBay and you'll find them.

The shafts are available in wood skin, bamboo skin and black. I ordered wood skin, they look pretty nice, with clear coat on.

I asked at my local bow store who were kind enough to measure up 11 of them with a bearpaw arrow analyzer. These are the results. Note that 10 and 11 are the same arrow.

Haven't actually shot much with them yet though.

I'm thinking that weight differences might be due to differing thickness of clear coat. I'm going to buy black shafts next to see if weight difference is better.

Included nocks, points and inserts were all good. Nocks and inserts could differ around 1 grain, points differed up to around 3 grains if I remember correctly. Turkey feathers from same seller were good as well.
