When it comes to the history of fishtailing in archery, there needs to be more information available. The term ‘fishtailing’ is relatively new and refers to the phenomenon where an arrow wobbles side-to-side as it travels towards the target. However, archers and engineers have studied the underlying cause of fishtailing extensively. It’s generally accepted that a combination of factors, such as improper bow tuning, inconsistent release technique, or poor arrow spine selection, causes fishtailing. As archery technology advances, these issues are becoming easier to address, which has helped reduce the prevalence of fishtailing in modern archery equipment.
