I dunno, i just run feathers on everything.

Porpoising sounds like there could be nockpoint and or fletching crashing the rest. Could be brace too.

Even if using an elevated rest, normal vanes probably gonna crash it to some degree.

Feathers, w nock rotated for minimal possible rest/ shelf contact, slightly high nock point. Should be close

thx
off the shelf with the installed pad
I had vane skidmarks on the shelf so I retied the nocks higher.
much more consistent, but slightly low..
then tweaked the top nock back a bit lower
getting better.
some stretch set in so closer to 8.5" brace now.
cracked a couple shafts, but made a few wood arrows and as a result figured out how to repair the split shafts..
running mostly cheap easton private labels to get it dialed in.

any suggestions on points for home made wood arrows? mine seem to be rather erratic.
I made some flat broads out of simpson strong ties...the fletchings are not art either. but at 15-20 yards they seem to take wild turns...
FOC is real close to the carbon 21"s
need some field points for the wood..thinking the flat broad heads may be causing flyers..
thx.
