    Alright, so I just finished tuning a Hoyt Satori to shoot off the shelf and had some findings that may help others so I am sharing. 1. I shoot three under. I started out with even tiller (limbs bottomed out) and was not happy with results. I took 1/4 turn off the top limb and got in the range...

    I was tuning my new White Feather Lark 19” ILF wood riser - WNS 28# long limbs (34# bow) shooting off the shelf. Spine of arrows matched the bow & it shot well at 12 yds, 3 under, zero tiller, brace height 7 7/8”. But when bare shaft tuning, I got high nock on the bare shaft at all nock pt...

    Greetings! I recently acquired some ash arrow shafting in both 60-65 and 65-70, and was hoping to use it through my 60# DAS recurve with a B-55 string, however, after running the numbers on the 3rivers dynamic spine calculator, they appear to possibly be too weak. I have a 27” draw length and...

    So I’m a stickler when it comes to arrows cus I just don’t think they’re worth the money a lot of times I try to never pay over a $100 a dozen and a lot of times I find arrows that are discontinued for much much cheaper but are actually great arrows. Like the 6mm beman centershots or Easton deep...

    Let me start by saying that I am new to traditional archery. I am a very analytical/procedural person. Through my research online, I have discovered many different processes for tuning a recurve and its proposed arrows. My scenario is that I have a new bow, 1 piece recurve without adjustable...

    This might be a challenge, but I could use some serious help. I am working on an ILF setup, but the tuning process is killing me. I shoot my Black Widow very well and have been successful with it in the field and at tournaments. Using my nock height, draw weight, and other specs from my Widow...

    Alright so I’m new to a springy rest. I’m shooting it pretty well. I shot 2 300 rounds with it the other day. One with much too stiff arrows. And one with a bare shaft that doesn’t seem to hit anywhere outside of the 8 ring on gold face 40cm. I shot a 250 with the much too stiff arrows. And a...

    How’s it going TTNation. New member here looking for some input/confirmation. I have been tuning my bow and arrows and have everything pretty well dialed. I ended up on 5/8 nock high on my nocking point and getting AWESOME flight with no up and down movement in my arrows. But… upon settling at...

    I'll keep it short, as your thoughts are most important. I have a new longbow and I'm trying to get my arrow flight so it looks good. The bow is a 60" Great Plains longbow with a low wrist grip, 40# draw weight at my draw length, and simple calf hair rest. My arrows are PORPOISING like crazy...

    I have been shooting this same setup with no changes for months. When I got my new rest I re-tuned and my bare shaft groups were hitting with my fletched groups consistently. I am still scoring well, but I seem to have plateaued in the mid 260's. I also have noticed that I'm moving my string...

    So I thought my aluminum shafts were going to be my hunting arrows for the year and Ive noticed most have a bend about 6" up from the field point so I'm back at square one trying alternatives. I have some Easton Axis 5mm done up and after a little fiddling I have bareshafts as well as I can...

    I recently bought a pair of Hex 7.2 medium limbs rated at 52# on a 25” riser. They are on a titan iii 19” riser with limb bolts all the way in. I am pulling approx 27” and here is my group of 1 fletched arrow with 2 bare shafts @ 15 yrds. This is about as good as I can tune... but those are 200...

    Is there any benefit to tuning your arrow by thickening or thinning the strike plate vs cutting and point weight? I read about Rick Welsch talking about making your bow shoot where you point but says he doesn't bare shaft tune?

    Paper is showing me that my back is coming in high, which is weird because I generally keep my knocking point lower than most. Lowered the knocking point to 0, still showing knocking point high [??]. I cant lower anymore without going below zero. Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

    Hey! New to this ILF stuff and I really didnt know what I was getting into when I bought this Samick Discovery, what with all this tech stuff and tuning but anyway here I am and I have a question. It was shooting better than I could but 3 R suggested a Vista rest/plunger combo that was really...

    I wanted to ask about a method I use but may not be correct? When i begin tuning a new arrow setup , I take a single bareshaft and shoot it and look at flight and or impact and tears in cardboard target. I have a set of various length bareshaft to try and compare flight. If i know an arrow...

    Hey everyone, new on here and new to traditional archery. I'm looking for some guidance here as I'm stumped trying to get my bow to tune with a new string. My resources are limited where I am, so I'm hoping some of you with more experience can help me problem solve. Thanks. My current set-up...

    Welp, i'm succumbing to asking the internet for answers. Each year I usually build a self-bow, but this year I haven't had the time and am opting to go back to my 50lb samick sage for the forgiveness and shootability for hunting. I put a new string on it and reset the 2 nock points. Took my...
