[QUOTE="Super 91, post: 488715, member: 31217"] Len, I think what you have said is very important. Please do not let our craziness in our extreme testing make anyone reading these threads that the TAC-15 is not a extremely accurate weapon right out of the box. What we are striving for is ULTIMATE precision for extreme long range shots. From 0-50 yards the factory shafts, fletched just as they are will work very well. Most of the time. But I would suggest shooting however many arrows you have at the target, off of a bench and record the POI of each shaft. You will have to number the shafts to keep track of each arrows characteristics. Once you have this done, you will need to keep a log of groups of arrows and their POI so you will know how to either adjust your POA to compensate, or you will need to re-zero the scope for each group of arrows so that you will not be off each time you go to the range or hit the woods. This is very time consuming and tedious, but if you want to tweak your TAC-15 to the nth degree, this the way to do this. We are trying to take this sort of testing to the next level. We are trying to establish whether the fiber woven shaft indeed has a spine. I suspect it has "multiple" spines, and it will be harder to ascertain if it has one side that is stiffer than another. Once our testing is complete, we will better understand what steps the average shooter might be able to take to achieve incredible accuracy with each shaft, instead of only having a few to hit the same spot out of the dozen shafts they may buy. Jon Henry and Konrad both know what we are after here, and over the course of the next 2-3 months, we should be able to show our findings backed with some strong facts. My hope is to indeed find a true spine that can be located by use of a RAM QC Carbon Arrow tester. If that is the case, it will be easy to mark the spine of each shaft, and then fletch each shaft according to the spine. Then if we can get PSE to not glue in the inserts, and we can orient the insert so that each broadhead is resting the same way to the spine, I think we can reach levels of precision shooting that have not been attained before. So the TAC-15 is fine the way it is, but we, the anal tweakmasters of ultimate accuracy, need something to focus our need for discovering the unknown in arrow accuracy on.
