If you use a peep sight, it is important to have it at the correct height because it could have a direct affect on your anchor point. Install a peep sight to your string, but don't tie it. Close your eyes and draw your bow back to your anchor point, then open your sighting eye. Move your peep sight to the correct position in front of your sighting eye. Repeat this process a few times until you are satisfied, and then tie the peep sight to the string. You can use the same procedure to set a kisser button.

Whatever stabilizer you choose, it should balance your bow so that the top limb slowly rocks forward when you open your hand. Make sure that you do this test with a full quiver of arrows if you intend to quiver while hunting. The extra weight of the bow quiver and arrows will affect the balance of a bow. There are many stabilizers on the market that will not only balance a bow properly but will tremendously reduce the amount of shock absorbed by your bow arm.

STEP TWO
Tests To Find The Perfect Spine In Your Arrows
Spine is everything when it comes to accuracy! When I speak of spine, I am referring to the stiffness of the arrow shaft.

It is very difficult to properly tune a bow unless you have the correctly spined arrows for this process. For finger shooters, spine is extremely crucial because of the amount of paradox, the bending and buckling of the arrow around the riser.

When choosing arrows use a good spine chart such as Easton's arrow chart. Another excellent aid is a software program called Archer's Advantage, sold in most archery shops, which can help you get close to the correctly spined arrow for your bow. Then it's up to you to perform the following tests:

Powder Test
You need to eliminate fletching contact before tuning your bow. Arrow flight can be affected tremendously if the vanes contact any part of the bow's arrow rest.

One way to solve this problem is to spray foot powder on an arrow's vanes before shooting on the practice range. This will illuminate any places in which contact is occurring, enabling you to make the proper adjustments.

Use a nock alignment gauge to ensure that the rest of your arrows will have the same clearance. This gauge works best when all arrows have been fletched using the same fletching jig.

Bare Shaft Plane Test
For this test, you will need three fletched arrows and three bare shafts. Make sure to use field points for this test, as shooting bare shafts with broadheads can produce unpredictable, dangerous flight. Add some masking tape to the end of the bare shafts to compensate for weight lost by removing the fletching, 20 to 30 grains depending on the size and weight of your vanes. You want the bare shafts to weigh exactly the same as the fletched arrows.

Start at a 20-yard target. You can move to longer distances later. The goal is to have all six arrows grouped in the same spot.

If your bare shafts are impacting to the left of your fletched shafts, your spine is too stiff. To correct this problem you can increase the poundage on your bow, increase your point weight, increase your arrow length, move your rest to the right (for release shooters), decrease the cushion plunger tension (for finger shooters) or choose an arrow with less spine.
