I have my first longbow. It's not my first traditional bow. However the last recurve I had it all came together pretty easily. I did a little tuning but it really took almost nothing. I don't target shoot so when I say it all came together, it came together in a way that allowed for acceptable hunting accuracy.
On my current bow, I'd really like to make sure the arrows are as well tuned as I can get them. It will be a hunting rig.
I'm wondering about process...
Bow is:
#45
58"
Reflex/Deflex
1/8" before center
Off the shelf
I'll be shooting fixed crawl.
Arrows are GT Trad 500 spine with 100gn inserts.
I will not be running a clicker.
I guess I'm wondering if it is ok to cut the arrows to an inch-ish in front of the shelf (so I can use the back edge of the broadhead as an index point) and then tune the spine by adjusting the point weight. I believe that this is probably not optimal, but I'd really like to have an index point on my draw length as well as my anchor.
If not, does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.
