Tuning new long bow
« on: July 27, 2009, 03:01:00 PM »
I am consistantly shooting left of where I am shooting. Every one who shoots the bow has the same results. I know I am getting fletching contact (the bottom hen feather). I shoot three finger under and I am thinking of raising the knock point up higher than I an used to. Also tried increasing the weight if my feild tips . It seems to have helped, but I have not shot enough yet to determine that.

Thanks for the advise went to the forum and read up on tuning. Tried the bare shaft and discovered I needed to add weight to the tip. Bare shafts and fletched arrow are grouping. Now if I can just get more consistant with my groups.
