Just move your fingers down the string until your point on is at 20 yards. Mine is about ¾" gap between the arrow nock and my top finger. Everyone's will be different though.
String Walking Question
Okay, so, I am a complete beginner when it comes to string walking. But what better place to ask?
I am shooting 3 under, TT Titan with 40 lb. limbs, bolts at 4 turns out and I draw just over 29 inches. I am shooting woodies, 520 grains.
What would be a good crawl for 20 yards? I though that I would start there to get a feel for it. Most of my shots are in the 20 yard range. Maybe I could combine string walking with gap? Get my crawl set at 20 yards and then adjust my point of aim up or down according to where I was relative to the target - say from 15 to about 30 yards.
Thanks all!

Blinky,
There are many variables that go into your gap. You just need to experiment.
Combining stringwalking and pick-a-point works great when shooting targets of known and consistent size (i.e. target shooting). I often set crawls off the bottom of the paper to make them shorter and more forgiving. You could probably stringwalk and gap for 3D. I do not think it would be as good as having a fixed point on the target.

Thanks guys, that is what I was looking for. I will try 3/4 in. between the bottom of the nock and my top finger.
Really depends on your current POD. Chances are with heavy woodies you might find that stringwalking doesn't require much crawl at all.

Depends on the length of your arrow and your anchor point. I tune my hunting bows for a 5/8" crawl at 18yards. So that is to say you can tune your gap within reason and limb performance.
Blinky, I usually start calibrating a bow by taking a standard crawl, like 1 inch, and blank bale. I figure out where I need to point to put the arrow in the center of the butt. I do not try to calibrate crawls until I am comfortable shooting my standard crawl. There is a lot of feel involved. Once I get the feel, I figure out what distance my standard crawl gives me. I shoot that distance until I am comfortable with a target. Then I start to move up and down distances. All the while, I am focused on the execution of my form. Stringwalking will punish you for form breaks.Thanks guys, that is what I was looking for. I will try 3/4 in. between the bottom of the nock and my top finger.
Just shoot a 5/8" gap and forget string walking no tuning problems

How many stitches is a 5/8 inch gap?
LOL, I'm not good precise enough to count strands and I use stringwalking primarily for hunting so I don't feel the need for tournament precision. I found that a 20 yard crawl corresponded exactly with the gap between my top two fingers when placed on my normal "touching the nock" hold. Perfect, I don't even have to look. Every 5 yards further from there was approximately 1/4" up out to my 40 yard point on...
That ain't working that's the way you do it,LOL, I'm not good precise enough to count strands and I use stringwalking primarily for hunting so I don't feel the need for tournament precision.
