Hey All,
I was reading an article on long distance/flight shooting recently and came across the term "archer's paradox", what is archer's paradox? I'm not familiar with the term.

Arhers paradox is the bending of the arrow around the handle of a non-center shoot bow ( high mass riser), typical of western style bows. Shot with a stationary form. I added the last part becouse with the thumbring shot from a moving release( I don't think I am choosing the right words here) , I can shoot fine.

But anyways that is where spine of the arrow comes in to play. If the arrow flys to the left the arrow spine is to weak, If the arrow flys to the right it is to strong, and when it flys straight then it is the right spine.
