Bare shaft tuning compound

[tstrick1993]

I shoot a compound instinctive. I recently bought a new set up and I'm having some arrow flight problems. So I decided to bare shaft tune. (Also shoot traditional and this is how I tune my trad bows.) I'm shooting 57# @28.5 with bear anarchy. With gold tip kinetics 340's @ 28 7/8" they have 24 grain inserts with an additional 10 grains with 100 grain tips. The proplem I'm having is that I'm showing nock low. I've went from 0-3/4" still nock low. I have my nocking point above my nock and below. I'm shooting of a trophy taker pronghorn rest with 3 under. My flight with fletched is pretty good but could be better. I've never had this problem with any other set up.

Man I don't really know but would like to know the answer to what you do to fix it

The bow your shooting is a single cam. If I looked up the right one. Single cams have vertical knoc travel. Just part of the game. have you made sure the cam timing is correct. If it's not. You can see some of this. You may also need to take cam out of time the other way to get better vertical knoc travel.

I have the newer anarchy hc it's a twin

is the bow in spec. Ata and brace height. And are the cams in sync. Need to start with both cams coming to full draw at exact same time.

Make sure arrow is 90 to the string. This is just starting point. Also bottom lamb bolts then back out 1/4. Measure tiller. Make sure same top and bottom.

I've never worked on a bear. I,do not know if if there is anything picking on them. So I'm just trying to make sure we are at a good starting point.

Also is arrow in center of burger hole.

Are you shooting this through paper or just target. Also what type target are you shooting into

What??? A thread related to bows? What kind of bowhunting g forum do you think this is?

Total waste of time.

[enewman]

Total waste of time.

Looks like you could not sleep last knight




And I totally disagree. If you spend the time to work on form and grip. And tune your bow with a bare shaft and can get close if not a bullet hole at 20 yards. Your bow and you are tuned.

Maybe you should learn how to bare shaft tune

To the op. Bare shaft is not easy. Most and I figure Ragin is one of them by his post, give up. Bare shaft is not forgiving of grip.

Here is an exercise. Set your bow up. Do your normal tuning. What ever method you like.

Then walk up to your target at shoulder height. Hang a string and at about 3 feet shoot that line with a bare shaft. Stay there till you can hit that line twice in less then 10 minutes. Then move back 2 ft do it again. Do this process till you can hit the link at 20 yards.

Waste of Time. That's for Trad bows not compounds.

Haha. It's all traditional. Some just have wheels on them haha

The method that most are using where you get them to hit together is a traditional crossed over to compound. I don't do that method. All I work on is getting the bare shaft to fly straight. Zero vertical and horzontal knoc travel.

This is not a waiste. But it is not for everyone.

Mm hm.

There are many things that can cause your problem. It doesn't sound like a big one though. What you need is to spend time with some one who is experienced with compounds.
If you could get to Orange I would spend time working with you and your bow.

Or stop trying to trad tune a compound. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji12]

And what fun would that be.

Ragin. Dang this is fixing to hurt. I agree wth you. Yep that hurt.

Now. But bare shaft tuning helps for a lot of things. It lets you see form flaws so you can fix. It lets you see knoc travel vertical and horzontal.

I don't care anymore about focusing on bare shaft hitting with fletched arrows. I just want to have them straight.


Now your saying this is a traditional tune. So is paper tuning. So is walk back tuning. So is group tuning. Most all of the tuning methods we use are traditional tuning methods

So from what your saying we shouldn't be doing any tuning. So what tune method do you suggest.
