Ryan. If you shoot the LB better than the recurve then stick to the LB. It's better to enjoy your shooting than to get frustrated while shooting. Some people can shoot a LB better than a curve and others shoot the curve better than a LB you just have to work out what one suits you best and stick with it.
It sounds like you're trying to mix two different types of tuning methods If drawing back a little more solves the problem then it sounds like the arrow is too stiff. woodsman
Take your bare-shaft and stand 20 yards from the target... shoot it. Do this 2 or 3 times. Tell me if the shaft hits right or left of where you're aimming. woodsman
I wasn't back to 20 yds, but earlier this evening shooting with a 200 gr point, the arrows were knock high/left and my bareshafts were mostly low of the fletched shafts. There was no left/right variance to my recollection. With a 145 gr point my shafts were nock high/right. Less right than the 200 gr were left though. I know this is a weird situation, my arrows bareshaft weak, but still show other signs of being too stiff. Jeff I have my nock point as low as it will go before my arrows kick up off the shelf and increase my nock high reading.
Never consider things to be set in stone. For example, left impact means stiff reaction. These are generalizations or norms (don't be afraid to try the opposite of the readings). I used to look to my equipment to be the problems in my shooting and sometimes it was, however in more numerous cases it was something going on elsewhere. Personally I spend very little time on tuning anymore and let tuning subtleties come out by themselves, and I adjust from there. Tournaments are won with twisted limbs, out of tune bows etc. as long as the shooter can keep his form perfectly consistant, however vice versa would not be true.
I agree with Bob on this one. If your arrows fly true and then another day they don't, I would tend to think its me and my form then my gear! It sure does get frustrating at times, when it does its time to step back and look into your form!
