[QUOTE="OkieBowie, post: 801832, member: 26507"] My question is about precision and consistency of TAC-15 (PSE) shaft itself, between original production runs and current runs. With Precision and consistency of shaft in regards to shaft flexing, how much flex (minimal, minor, medium, lots), where along shaft flex occurs (slightly forward, mid-length, slightly back), and if the flexing is consistent (repeatable). What I have seen with four original production run Tac-15 shafts: Shaft #1 - Flexing is minor, and repeatable. Using weak vs. strong side and 90 degree knock rotation gives predictable results. Can be used for adjusting center shot. Shaft #2 - Flexing is medium, and repeatable. Using weak vs. strong side and 90 degree knock rotation gives predictable results. Not best choice for adjusting center shot. Shaft #3 - Flexing is medium, and usually repeatable. Using weak vs. strong side and 90 degree knock rotation semi-predictable results. Not good choice for adjusting center. Shaft # - Flexing is major, and inconsistent. Using weak vs. strong side and 90 degree knock rotation unpredictable outcomes. [I]Great arrow for demonstrating car door penetration, but not much else.[/I] To be clear, I am using a flip-down rest, not a Whisker Biscuit. Based on past experience with Whisker Biscuit, it will tend to cleanup or compensate for bad form (torquing), bad bow limbs (one stronger than other), and somewhat miss-tuned center shot. At issue, flip-down rests won't mask any shooter or bow problems. Likewise, flip-down rests won't mask any arrow shaft problems. After finding only 1 out of 4 original production run Tac-15 arrows to be good, I was wondering if anybody had seen an improvement with recent production runs of Tac-15 arrows? [/QUOTE]
