    Last fall I purchased a #70 @ 28" 1994 Martin Super Diablo off fleabay. When I got it, I'd been shooting a lighter bow, and it scared me how fast it was :) After checking my ego and realizing I was overbowed with it, I spent the winter building up a better muscle base to shoot it. Now that...

    Guys, Im pulling my hair out on this one. Since Im in a situation where paper tells me one thing, bare shafts at 20yds tells me something else, what one do you believe in? Im shooting bare shafts thru paper as well. Here is what Im seeing. Paper at 6ft. 500spine weak 400spine weak 340 nice...

    What kind of accuracy is needed for tune or is form far more important? Shot very well for me at lunch today, 20 yds. So for a laugh stuck on a BH and compared it with FP. Will post photo later. Shot 3 groups [2 arrows] that were very decent flight not funky? and 4th was impressive...

    Ok, put on the new Border Hex 6H limbs, 42@28 and I draw 29.75" . SO figured I'd start out with some ACE's 520's full length and 80 Gr tips, total arrow weight is 310. Finally got the nock height right, and the BS are 6 inches weak at 20 yards. Played with plunger and no joy getting them...

    As stated in another thread 'am having problems with inconsistency/tune. Stickbow off shelf with release. 6' to back of bow Top right is actually better than photo looks. Dark spot is shadow on paper. Bare shafts show a little higher nock tear. But more consistent. Tears obviously not...

    Hello My local archery store is selling EASTON CamoHunter 340s for cheap. My set up is Gamemaster with 50# TT carbon limbs [ 64 inch bow) . My draw lenth is 29.5. I am thinking to leave them full lenght and use 150 points. Opinions please. Thank you.

    Up until recently shot Excel recurve with WB rest and sights. FP/BH POI good for me out to 40+yds. Just switched to SRF sight and NAP Flipper using same arrows. 2" feathers 485gns @ 195fps? Seems I have a tune issue that does not clearly show up at my FP/BH shooting skill level with the...

    Rod Jenkins had a shooting clinic in my neck of the woods last week. He stayed at the house while he was in the area. I received a tune up on my shooting. You aren't always doing what you think you are doing. I needed a little work on the mental side too. :) One of the things we worked on...

    I've been bare shaft tuning some Easton Redline 600 shafts for my 42lb. Black Widow at 27.75 inch draw length and these shafts seem very finicky or sensitive. They are my first experience with a small diameter carbon shaft and seem to be a lot harder to get perfect bare shaft arrow flight out of...

    Just for the heck of it I dug out an old stick on flipper rest. I stuck it way back on the belly side of the site window. This did two things. It put the rest right above the push point of the grip and the Bob Lee has enough radius in the site window that the arrow still rides against the...

    Here's the set up: Bob Lee takedown longbow. 62" 41@28. I draw it 31.5" and my scale shows 51@ 31.5. My arrows are Easton Excell 400's 32.5" long. No matter what point weight or nock hight I try my bareshaft flys nock high. What are the typical causes for nock high. I tend to think the...

    I can't seem to make this bareshaft tunning work for me. I can get my arrows shooting almost perfect through paper if my form is correct. Shooting bare shafts works to about 15 yards then they get pretty wild. I can't imagine shooting bareshafts at 30 yards or farther and keeping a reasonable...

    oh man I miss the days when ya just cut your AL target arrows 1/4" at a time to dial in your arrow length for a string walking sight and tune your bow at the same time. I could pretty well depend on 5# per inch on the size AL I shot. I havent figured much of any ratio between length and spine...

    I shoot right hand. Last fall I got a Stallion and bare shaft tuned it, at 20yrds the bare shafts were hitting just a little right of the fletched. Now that my release has improved I thought I would try to fine tune everything. Here is where the question comes in. I moved the plunger out...

    Hi all, I'm going through the tune for tens system and am stuck at the first step of arrow spine. I have replaced the plunger spring with a piece of wire and set the center shot appropriately. Every bare shaft arrow I shoot hits nock right (stiff). This is a 47# draw weight at 28.5" and I've...

    After watching Ty Pelfrey on MBB II I was curious how you would keep an acceptable arrow tune for hunting with a string walking setup? You're always drawing the arrow different amounts, and the tune has to change dramatically. It looks like a really accurate system, and I messed around with it a...

    i would like to know your thoughts on this: alot of resources state that it is much perferred to set up your tuning (bareshaft) a little on the stiff side. as such, it is said that, form mistakes won't be exagerated as much. yet, i have found that when my bow is set up a little on the weak...

    Has anyone tried these? What did you think? Seems like you could get more FOC with since they are really light weight.

    This may have been covered before but I'll bring it up since I don't know the answer. What is considered to be more forgiving? Using a weaker shaft and a stiffer plunger or a stiffer shaft and weaker plunger? Assuming both setups give a good bareshaft tune. I thought the conventional wisdom...

    I went to the chiropractor today and man, was my back out of alignment. It has been almost 2 years since the last visit and I could tell. The body is just like anything else and needs to be in the proper alignment to function well. After I got home I fired a few shots in the garage just to see...
