@Nate11692 I use the strings that Black Widow recommends for the bow. I buy the strings directly from Black Widow; they know what I'm looking for when I call, and I haven't yet bothered with what the specs are on it.
@mrwhitetail1994 The fletchings would straighten it out but at 10 paces there would still be a lot of wobble. I prefer a heavier arrow for better penetration with a lighter weight bow, sacrificing a little bit of speed. I'm with you on the 15-20 yard minimum for bareshaft tuning.
@mrwhitetail1994 I appreciate the comment. With the weight I've got up front, at a 31" DL, on a full-length shaft, it bareshaft tunes just fine with the 2216s. If the 2216s were way too stiff, they'd be exiting the bow at a hard nock-right; as you can see in the video, they go pretty straight.
@rscottreese01 Good eye! I shoot "cock-feather in". When the cock-feather is at it's normal 9-o'clock position, the quill of the 4-o'clock feather bumps against the outside corner of the shelf of the bow, and causes erratic arrow flight. When turned around 180 degrees, the arrow clears the shelf cleanly, and the flexing of the shaft upon release also allows the cock-feather (now facing the opposite way) to not rub on the shelf.

What kind of string are you using? Nice shooting by the way!
