Bow Tuning,,Old lesson learned again
« on: January 07, 2011, 10:33:00 PM »
So I just traded for a new Kota 62" takedown that has been shooting like a dream.  I mean better than I have ever shot.  I am consentrating on the basics with push pull, deep hook relaxed back of the hand, pulling with my back muscles ect.  My groups were awesom fletching touching at 20 yards.  Then the groups began to get larger and larger, so I consentrated harder on form.  Then I started noticing fletching wear.  I checked my brace hieight and it was .25 off a whole 1/4".  I fixed it and the groups are touching again.  Just thought I would share this reminder that it is not always bad form, sometimes it is the equipment.

Yes, always check all of the variables before doubting your form.

I have notice too that a low brace height will cause my shooting to drop off. Brace height stretching just creeps up on you (pun intended)

Nice, the other thing is although B50 string stretches a lot.  The high tech stuff that advertises as non-stretching does stretch a little.
