I've been using a 64" , 60# Wessel Archery recurve this year. Took the buck at 12 yards and the doe at 3 yards. Mike

I drew an Iowa tag this year and got a chance to hunt a few weeks. I took a 9 pointer in early November and went back to fill my doe tag and film rutting bucks. I'm back to hunting Illinois but the pressured bucks seem to be moving after dark. Lots of time left and hope to run paths with a special buck. Mike

Quote from: BAbassangler on Today at 05:45:45 AMAhaaaa...so it's like adding a tsp of salt to a cup of soup vs. a crockpot.

Good analogy! I think in the case of cup vs. crockpot, "less is more" would probably apply, meaning that if you multiplied one teaspoon X the increased volume of the crockpot compared with the cup, the soup would probably end up tasting too salty, because of the mysterious alchemy of the cooking process. 

Something similar may be going on here, which could make the actual ratios of the two beginning point weights an imprecise indication of what effect on tune the addition or subtraction of point weight after changing the string would have.  For example, the differences in total arrow weight might also affect the results.  Fortunately, we don't have to be that precise.  In the tuning process we can just keep trying different point weights, cut, change spines, brace height or string silencer location until we stumble on something that works.

I don't know how long it is and don't own one I would start at 6.5 and find the sweet spot.
