question on tuning
« on: December 11, 2013, 08:49:00 AM »
when tuning do you tune the brace height for quietness first than shaft tuning or the reverse

thank you

I may do it differently than some but I prefer to find the BH first.  The spot where the bow is the quietest and feels the best.

thanks
to me it seems logical
find the best brace height first otherwise the shaft tuning could be false because in doing the shaft tuning first than changing the brace height could alter the way the arrow leaves the bow

guys is this correct

It's all preference. I start at the low end of brace height that still gives me quiet and shock free bow, then I bareshaft (Byron Fergusons way) then if shooting fletched proves my arrows hit a touch left I raise my brace a couple twists to pull my arrow in.  
Sounds involved, but start to finish is about 30 min total

My father said find brace first, as brace can change how the bow reacts (even though slightly, I'd imagine) to different spine arrows.  That always made sense to me.

I start in the middle of the smoothest brace height, then tune shafts and if needed slightly adjust brace for maximum tune. Brace height adjustment after a pretty good dynamic spine tune gets the arrow coming off the string at the proper time, when arrow is in line with target, that yields the quietest arrow off bow for me.

All the arrow tuning has been out the window with the arrow dynamic shafts, as Terry has said just cut them and shoot, but I found brace height adjustment after this yields a smoother and quieter shot.
shoot straight shoot often
