New stiffer arrows.. Help me tune.

[nycredneck]

Are you gripping the bow with your hand, because if you are you will never tune anything. Torque will mess up any kind of tuning.

Nope not at all holding solely with the life/heart line. If shooting field points my fingers are not even on the grip.

Just wanted to update this....

I have still been having issues.

I was doing more research yesterday and on a whim had the wife photo me at draw... I saw form issues.

I looked at the nuts and bolts pdf. And tried to mimic the form photos.

I went back to paper.



Above is the tears I was getting prior to form change. I couldn't adjust any further right on the rest.

With form change my arrows were hitting 4 inches higher and having much better tears.

I put up the bow for the day and went back out this morning.

Concentrating on form I got this at 10yrds. 2 BHs 2 FP. FP is flier.



I stepped back to 20 and had BHs 3 high. 4 right.

Made horizontal rest adjustments and shot 1 BH 2 FP... They were in a vertical line. I put the bow up for the day. I'll tackle the vertical adjustment tomorrow.


One thing I've noticed is that with my form adjustments my release shoulder is sore alot quicker. I'm assuming due to improper form I wasn't using these muscles..

Here is a form pic.


Still working on the release elbow. And I now knuckle my 3 fingers except for my pointer which goes lightly around the grip.

I have also noticed that my sight is much more steady with form adjustment.

I am no expert by any means but it looks to me like your grip hand needs kicked out a little bit to get to the 45 degree Mark. First thing I noticed...again no expert but looks a Lil off at grip

Actually. I just redraw. I am getting my release elbow down more in line with the arrow.

Yesterday I also moved my target block up high. Allowing me to focus on form with out having to bend to drop for the target

Exactly I noticed that as well in the pic. Today after reading I started using my knuckles to kick my hand up more.

You're not slapping that trigger are you? I see your finger is poker stiff straight out

[zeus1gdsm]

No sir. Gentle squeeze. I just do that to assist as an anchor point and keep the trigger finger away to prevent misfires.
