Strike Plate Tuning ?SS

It seems like a lot of guys build the rest up as well.
I've never tried that before but I may just have to give it a shot.
I won't get home until sometime in SEPT. so I'll be rushed to get ready for the season. Rushed is better than no season so I'll take my chances.

Double sided sticky back cqrpet tape in layers as needed under your chosen side plate or rest material is what Rick teaches. Velcro for durability is about as good as it gets. Works great for me. moving the point of impact left is fairly easy,...more layers of tape.
If you have to move further right and are at your thinnest material, I guess it's time to weaken the arrow spine.
I'm still working on a Bear I have, to try to move it right...it's kicking my butt.

Irv,are you right or left handed, I'm not an authority by any means, but as I understand Ricks bow tunning from his videos, thin and hard moves the arrow left for a right hander, thick and soft moves it right.

I really like just a calf hair plate or super thin piece of leather for my bows. In my experience having thinner strike plates (thus having a closer center shot) makes a bow much easier to tune, and it will usually tune in with more than one arrow set up than if you used a thicker strike plate.

I have definately been missing the boat on this one.
My first project when I return.
Thanks for all the advice.

that is definitely true, unless you are spined a bit weak like I was. then, it's the opposite. it definitely proves the point that strike plate width CAN make a difference on borderline setups.

Who sells the Martin style strike pads?
