String Walking Tiller
« on: July 10, 2014, 05:02:00 PM »
For the first time I will have a bow with adjustable tiller.  I stringwalk, and am wondering whether I can get more consistant performance by adjusting the tiller of the bow?
If so, how should I go about that?  My riser is a 25" Hoyt Formula Excel Pro. Would the typical plunger adjustments for stringwalking still come into play once the tiller is adjusted?

Adjust tiller with your limb bolts. Finding the sweet spot in your tiller will be a big help for string walking. Most people tune to their middle crawl.

Hope that others step in since I am trodding in slightly unfamiliar waters.

1. Establish tiller at the medium crawl range.

2. Establish tiller from pics at full draw. The top limb and bottom limb alignment are nearly perfectly vertical.

Start at "0" tiller and adjust from there.  Med crawl is where you want your best arrow flight.  Remember when you change tiller you will change the nocking points location also.  If you strengthen the top limb it will move up, strenth the bottom limb it will move down.
