Help please..Double check center
« on: June 20, 2010, 07:57:00 PM »
I'm shooting a PSE KingFisher Recurve Bow 50#@28"..
I have some 11/32" shafts that are centered with string from nock to point. I used a laser center tool from My one neighbor.

what would be the center going by Stu's cal-program?
He has 3/16", 1/8", 1/16" & 0 (center). I'm thinking it would be 3/16" but don't have the right tool to find out..

I forgot to say PSE told me the pass is about 5/16" from center.

on the PSE website you should be able to get the specs.

Not there, I guess my question is where is center? center of arrow shaft or do you go by the side that is touching the pass/plate.

I may be wrong but the  center should be the center of the shelf if it was a solid piece,then figure what the actual cut is from that imaginary line.You can use a ruler

Let me try this again... ON STU's program does it go by center of arrow or just the center of bow? That means the tip of the arrow would be off center. Wouldn't be better for the whole arrow to sit center of the Bow in-line with the string.

Stu's calc uses the measurement of the riser/shelf.  If the arrow is centered, figure -3/16.

Thank You Fletcher.

I just wanted to make sure I was right. Now I know what arrows to try when I order them soon.
