I tried carbons with a 500 spine, 54 grain insert and 85 grain point. They don't seem to fly straight.Same problem with my 2114 Alu Schafts. To me it looks like they both have problems to stabilize at 18 meters. Both shafts have 4" fletching.
Any ideas?
The "Gwan Jung" ("bullseye" in Korean) arrow is made by Kaya for their bows. You can check with either Freddie at Kaya (www.kayaarchery.com) or with Greatree Archery (www.greatreearchery.com), who is the US distributor for Kaya, for retailers in your area.
Personally, I shoot different Korean carbons with my 50# KTB and have no problems, but you may find that your problem lies in a couple areas. One is that Korean carbons generally have a bit stiffer spine than those in the West; the reason being, we are shooting at targets 145m away, so paradox--and, hence, spine--is not really a consideration. Another possible problem is in shooting form; you may need to adjust your form a bit. I shoot both short distance (20-30m) and long distance (145m) with my bows and need to adjust my form to suit the situation.
Another thing you might try is shooting lighter Western carbons (I like CarbonExpress arrows) or wood arrows (I get mine from Whispering Wind Arrows and Three Rivers Archery); you can usually find a spine that works well.
Good luck!
