Shooting split finger on a bow tillered for 3 under?
« on: April 25, 2007, 06:49:00 PM »
Is it possible to tune a 3 under bow to shoot split finger off the shelf?  What would this most likely do to arrow flight.  Could it cause arrows to kick nock high?

I have done it and they have all shot fine once tuned. I had to play with my nocking point mostly, but brace-height may need tinkering as well. Shawn

I'm no expert, but I don't think it makes a hoot of difference as long as you tune your nocking point setting for proper arrow flight. I have a morrison shawnee with 3/16" positive tiller on the top limb. Just to see what would happen, I reversed the limbs on the riser and shot the bow. I did not see any difference in arrow flight and accuracy was the same. The nocking point was set the same at 7/8" above. This was with my 56" limbs and for some reason, I seem to need a higher nocking point for shorter bows.
