how much aggravation to tune a bow tillered for split finger, shooting 3 under

[jpmike6656]

I'm just getting back into trad bows. used to shoot split finger, now I find 3 under to be better. How difficult is it to tune a bow tillered for split finger to shoot WELL using 3 under? What compromises need to be made? Will it effect arrow spine? Am I better off getting a 0 tillered bow? Can a bowyer change the tiller to 0?
Thanks for all replys.

I usually need to raise my nock point a fraction of an inch but otherwise tuning is the same.  

All of my recurves are tillered for split, and I shoot split finger, but I have done quite a bit of experimenting with three under and never had a problem.  I do notice my bows are a little louder when I shoot them three under but it's minor and probably insignificant in a practical sense.

Agree with easykeeper. all of my bow's are tillered split and i shoot them 3 under. Raise the nock a touch. Bow is a bit louder 3 under vs. split.

I can tune a split tiller bow way easier 3 under than split.

Not difficult at all.

As stated, all I do is raise the nock point a bit more for 3-under. I ordinarily shoot split-finger but never had a bow that I couldn't tune to 3-under easily.

Have also bought bows tillered for 3-under & the reverse is true, just lower nock point slightly.

I'm not a bowyer, but I really have never had a problem with any of my split tillered bows.

I've been through 15 or 20 that were tillered for split.  My BJ Thunderchild is the only bow I own that is tillered for 3 under.  My nock point for it is the same as for all my other bows.

Don't know if it helps or not, but I would never let the fact that a bow is tiller split keep me from buying it.

Move the nock point  DONE

[ncheels]

Do you merely move the nock point up?  Or do you also have to move the arrow rest up as well?

[Ulysseys]

Should just be the nock point.  When you shoot 3 under you place more stress on the bottom limb, the nock being higher compensates for that upon release.

....depending on the bow, you may have to play with the brace height a bit for good broadhead flight/less noise........

My nock point is 5/8" for most split finger tillered bows.
