I still have a bunch of 5" feathers and a Left Wing Bitzenberger fletching jig if you want to go crazy making your own arrows.

I can't imagine trying to get good arrow flight out of a recurve shooting off the shelf. I tried Zwickey broad broadheads out of a well tuned compound and couldn't get the things to fly. All over the map. Good luck.
I shoot a reflex deflex bow off the shelf and its deadly accurate. Its al about tuning.

If you shoot veins that makes sense but feather shooter have been doing it forever, we added a stick on flipper rest to get away from the shelf rest.

I shoot a reflex deflex bow off the shelf and its deadly accurate. Its al about tuning. With field tips or broadheads or both. I've never been a recurve guy so I had to Google how to tune one. Basically just what I thought. Cenershot if you have a rest capable of achieving it, nock and brace height and tiller. The video I watched was made by an Olympic archer and he said he worries more about group than arrow flight. I don't know how you would ever stabilize a Zwickey to fly straight if you don't have good arrow flight. You might get away with it if you were shooting a small diameter lightweight broadhead. Fingers would only compound the issues.

Fingers would only compound the issues. I shoot single bevel 175 grain grizzlies on cheap easton aluminum arrows with fletching. They shoot just the same as when I shoot points. I spent a good week or two tuning with bare shafts to find what was consistent and not me over gripping or plucking.

Don't think it has been mentioned but the knocking point could be off. Looking at the first pic I say high if it's that. It was. It was adjusted along with an arrow rest added to get the arrow off the shelf. While I can’t get the slow motion video to load, the video I posted can be slowed down by taking the following steps if anyone wants to view it that way. Open a YouTube page. Search for the video by Hobbietone img0377. Once you pull the video up.....

Sorry Hobbi but with that rig set up the way it is I would say a archery hunt with it is out of the question. This year.That is if you have any respect for the quarry .there is a process whereby a shelf bow can be made to shoot very well with nothing more than hair rest. The spine, length of the arrow ( these two are interrelated) weight of the point also interrelated and the poundage of the bow. All work off each other. I have two 60’s and one 72 pound recurve s that can be made to paper test almost as well as a Mathew Z7 with a fall away rest. Funny thing is one of the sixties shoots the arrows that diled in with the 72# Saxon Sellkirk Another thought I your bow tillered for split finger or three under.
