Go to the A & H Archery, sponsors here, web site and go to Knowledge Base.  Click on bow tuning and then Tuning Longbows and Recurves.  I know there are other methods, but this works the quickest and best for me.  Hope it helps.

Here's a link to what "Old Chief" is referring to.

Click on the link and then click on "bow tuning" at the top of the page:

I would suggest "Shooting the Stickbow" by Anthony Camera. Easy to read and understand as well as a great reference book.
