Tuning Your Bow & Arrows
Perform the same test with the cardboard target turned so that the tape hangs vertically. If your broadheads are impacting the target to the left of your field points, move your rest to the right for release shooters. Finger shooters should decrease cushion plunger tension. If your broadheads are impacting the target to the right of your field points, move your rest to the left for release shooters. Finger shooters should increase cushion plunger tension. After adjustments, shoot the arrows again. Your goal is to get all arrows impacting on the vertical tape. STEP FIVE Turn your poundage down to where the weight is comfortable enough to hold your bow steady (no shaking) for increasingly longer periods of time. Your accuracy will improve and you will become much more successful in the field. SOME HANDY TIPS Record your draw weight, axle to axle measurement, tiller measurements, center-shot (measure from the sight window to the center of the arrow), nock point (mark it on your bow square), peep sight (measure from your nock point), kisser button (measure from your nock point), mark your string and cable at both the idler wheel and cam to see if stretching occurs, and mark your limb bolts to make sure they don't back out. Shoot A Quiet Bow Vibrations, either from the bow itself or from after-factory add-ons, produce most noises associated with shooting bows. I've heard some bows upon release sound like somebody dropped a toolbox on the ground. This just doesn't work! Here are some tips for quieting your bow: The tuning methods I have described are not difficult to perform; they just take a little time. I guarantee you will be happy with the results and with the increased confidence in your shooting abilities for the upcoming deer season. ABOUT THE AUTHOR |
