I just thought of another example of something similar. If you have ever seen an arrow being shot from a bow in slow motion, it has a very similar wobble when immediately leaving a bow. I remeber watching Byron Ferguson on the outdoor network doing trick archery shots. In one case, he was shooting an arrow through a wedding ring. I remeber him mentioning that he could not shoot too close, as the arrow had not stablized yet, and had to be a certain distance so that it had quit wobbling, and could make the shot.

I wish some physicist or ballistics expert would write in and tell us for sure, as it sure is a strange area in which there is lots of here say and rumor, but no concrete evidence.
