I was shooting inside a closed warehouse so wind wasn’t an issue, but does it matter what the impact angle is of the arrows? I shot 2 fletched and 2 bare and the angles of the fletched arrows were good and pointed back at me but my bare shafts were flat. My target was waist high as I couldn’t get it level shoulder high. The grout was also good and tight.

Bare shaft tuning question

Yes entry angle is very critical. The first thing you want to do is tune POI. You may get good entry angle quickly and luck out but usually that’s the finishing touch of bare shaft tuning. Once you get the fletched arrow and bare shaft with the same POI more than likely a final adjustment or two will have to be made to get a good entry. The final result should be a fletched arrow and bare shaft in the same hole with the shafts running parallel to each other the square to the face of the target.

Bare shaft tuning question
You also want to try to shoot the target level, as in not down hill if possible. You get a better read that way imo. The type of target matters with bare shaft tuning, at least if you are trying to get an accurate read on entry. You need a firm target, something like a blob, block or Reinhardt. The target also needs to not be shot out. To get an accurate read on entry the arrow has to stay exactly like it was when it impacted the target. Settling after impact will make reading the impact angle very difficult and what tell you what you are really trying to figure out.
