It impacts as a stiff arrow ever shot while the gt 400’s seem to land in the center with the same tip weight and length . Just seems odd boker

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time. NRA Life Member

To make sure you have a correct reading always add tip weight to see if your shaft reacts weaker,or lower tip weight to see if your shaft reacts stiffer. A false reading won't change accordingly as it should with a tip weight change. If you have a false stiff reading,then more weight added will likely make it shoot even stiffer.
