String walking(sorta) - questions
« on: April 01, 2009, 12:46:00 PM »
I have purchased a lower weight bow(Quinn Comet) to work on form and accuracy and recently have tried a little string walking(sorta). When I say "sorta" I mean that I have only tried it at short distances and with only one crawl mark. This seems to be very good for accuracy as I look right down the arrow like a gun barrel. Now for the questions.
- Does anyone use a single crawl(say 20yds) and just aim a little high or low for distance? I am mainly referring to hunting.

- My crawl mark is ~ 1 inch below my nock. Is this enough to throw off the tiller of my bow? Can I use this method with a standard tillered bow?

- If so, what tuning tips can you experienced guys offer. Higher nock point? etc.

- Any problems with broadhead tuning(again from a standard tiller bow)?

I switched from compounds a couple years ago, but I am as new as they come to stringwalking.

Thanks, Mark

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Thanks Jonathan.

Seems that Trashwood had a post last year that is similar to what I had tried last night. And I thought I had come up with a new idea   :)

So?... I just started string walking and was wondering the thing (tuning wise). Do you tune your bow to 20 yards and just go from there?
