Well, a while ago I wrote about "things ive learned". That was maybe 6 months ago, and im just going to write up a little more.
Since the last post I have truly learned to "TUNE" my arrows, thanks 100% to Byron Fergusons Tuning for Extreme Accuracy DVD and my own trial and error after attempting to tune from guideance from the video. This alone has helped tremendously. McDaves statement about tip weights effects on flethched arrows helped me grasp some effects of arrow flight I was seeing also, so thank you.
ANCHOR POINT: I have struggled a bit with this relatively simple aspect of shooting for some reason. I have tried everything I could thnk of trying to find a "spot" for my middle or index finger and when I do focus on that I seem to be all over the place. But What i did find that WORKS for me is to get my thumb knuckle locked in behind the jaw and my second knuckle of my index finger presses against my cheekbone. Its comfortable, repeatable and most important is its natural for me. I dont need to think about it, as my hand just naturally sits there.
In regards to my first paragraph I stated I finally learned to tune my ARROWS, but I was still lacking on tuning up the bow for those final tunes like Byron and others talk about. So I have a set of arrows that fly perfect from my 50@27 Vixen but were SLIGHTLY stiff for my 50@28 Misty Dawn ( 3 pound difference and string follow). My Brace on my Misty Dawn was at 6" so I set out to see if raising the brace height would weaken up my shafts enough for good flight and VIOLA, 4 twists of the string and it brought those arrows over from hitting 3" left to right on target. It also removed some of the wobble out of the arrow I was getting.
I have read a 100 times about on a non-center shot bow that if you lower the brace it makes the bow shoot left and raising the brace will bring the arrow to the right, but not untill I experimented with it myself did the lesson truly set in.
Thats all i can think to add at this time.
