    Ok ladies and gentlemen. During the field course in Yankton I noticed my gaps had changed. Seems I was dropping out of the target at longer distances. I will be the first to admit, my gaps were not solid same with form, switching from split finger to 3 under 2-3 months out wasn’t the best...

    What can I expect to happen to my arrow trajectory if I: 1. Lengthen my brace height by 1/2" 2. Change tiller by 1/8" either positive, or negative. Nothing drastic!

    I believe I saw a thread about this here? I can’t seem to locate it so I will ask the question agian cause I seem to be having issues. I want to learn 3under using a tab but when I switch from my glove to my Black Widow tab my arrows go left, I am right handed, which shows to high spine. I tried...

    http://www.lancasterarchery.com/bateman-2tcd-finger-tab.html Been shooting my favorite Safari Tuff tab for a long time now. My wandering mind was curious if changing to a tab with a spacer would make gaps smaller. I was curious if anyone had ever tried it. Obviously still shoot the tab with...

    If you had set of longbow limbs (long), On a 19 inch riser and then put the same lambs on a 17 inch riser if draw length stayed the same would you be effectively working the limb more? I ask because I have a set of longs on my 19” riser and with my 26.5 “ draw I don’t feel like I am getting...

    i have actually been curious about this for a while now and admittedly have only been following suit because "its what the cool kids are doing"... but i honestly dont actually like having a stabilizer out back of the bow to keep the bow balanced upright in the webbing between my thumb and...

    It has to do something, but what. 0 to 3/8's is standard. 0 for three under and 3/8's for split. I shoot split and have been tuning at even (0) and 1/8 and 2/8's and 4/8's. I did skip 3/8, but I thought I'd try something extreme. Can't get the up and down kick out of a bare shaft. Started...

    Here's a question for those who know more than I. Does a cleaner finger release tend to make an arrow fly stiffer or weaker ? I ask because a friend of mine and I have several times experimented with shooting a bare shaft from a given bow. the bare shaft was previously tuned to the bow to fly...

    How would nock height be affected if tiller is changed from even tiller to 1/4" positive tiller?

    I am shooting the stock TradTech strings and they do fine, but I was considering going to a more custom string. How much increase have you seen by doing such on your bow? What was the material and strand count? Looking at flemish- I just like them better.

    Hi all, just shot some new arrows, shot and bareshafted them and played around with the plunger a bit. Never considered the plunger a part of the bow of too much importance - once set the way I thought it was ok I left it that way and didn't pay attention anymore. It might have been so because...

    This one is for you super tuners out there. How much change have you noticed when adding or subtracting 10 grains of point weight to an arrow. Can you even notice a change? I am referring to going from say a 100 gr. to a 90 gr. when bare shaft tuning and fletched arrow flight. I notice quite...

    One reason for going the ILF route was to play around with tiller to reduce the downward nock travel. However it doesn't work. I turned the limbs way out in both directions and all it did was make the bow noisy. I shoot 3 under and ended up back at even tiller with the nock 1/2" high. That's...

    1) Would a good clean release require a stiffer spine or a weaker spine? 2) How does center cut affect arrow spine? The reason that I ask these questions is because I have a 50 lb. @ 28 inch R/D longbow that I have spent a lot of time tuning. The bow is cut to center. I have tuned the bow to...

    Does the moon affect your accuracy? Well it certainly has a huge affect on mine. I just got this Moon riser and its a blast to shoot. I set it up with my 30# TT blackmax limbs, a string from Daryl Merrill and a Spig ZT rest with a cheap cartel plunger. I'm still working on the tune, but its a...

    Guys, I shot the Spig 650 club for a year and it shot like a dream. It is a heavy riser (4.75#) and the mass really made it dead in the hand. The weight make the bow very forgiving. A shot that is not perfectly executed doesn't cause that heavy riser to move much at all so a miss is still in...

    Just had a hernia operation and haven't shot in 3 weeks. At the rate things are going, I won't shoot for another 3 weeks. Will this throw me back badly?

    Let us assume: -- Same riser and same arrow. -- Draw length is 28 inches. -- Limb set #1 yields AMO bow length of 56 inches with 50# @ 28 inches. -- Limb set #2 yields AMO bow length of 60 inches with 50# @ 28 inches. -- Limbs have same efficiency of energy storage, however this is...

    I have asked this question before, but am still confused. I have a Warfer. With the tiller even, I am having to set the nock set at about 5/8" shooting three under. How should I change the tiller to get the nock set lowered? If I use more of a low wrist grip, the nock set needs to go higher...

    Bob's comment on the thread about his very nice buck got me to thinking. Bob said they had a lot of nice pretty bucks in his area, approx. 50/50 buck doe ratios, and low hunting pressure. Deer that nice happen from time to time here in Missouri ( I live in the southern half) but they are...
