Impossible to have perfect flight?

[Robert Honaker]

Is it possible that a bow may have a week limb or improper tiller so that it will never have perfect flight?

No matter where my nock point is set I get a severe 'kick" on the tail end of shaft. From 1/4  to 7/8 nock point.. Left/right is good. Bare shafted and and same result... hits about a foot low and if I lower NP it gets even worse.

What yall think?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

have you tried a raised rest?

[Old York]

I'd be hard-pressed to hit anything
with a 1/4" to 7/8" brace height.

Tell us more, don't be shy with the type font   :D

I had a bow like that but it was a bow made by a local bowyer and I think the tiller was messed up or something.

[Robert Honaker]

I meant 1/4 to 7/8 Nock point.

I like to use two nocks over and under the it seems to help for me. You still need the right arrow and tuning though .

[Chris Shelton]

do you shoot split fingers or three under?

[CJC]

is it possible that that it could be your release? or a form issue?

[widow sax]

Are you shooting three under if so the arrow can be sliding down the string on release I saw this happen first hand Lee at tradtec showed me a  high speed slowmotion film that showed it happening at tradtec one time. There is a thread on here of *********** that talks about that this guy wrapped serving below his arrow to stop it. You could try puting a nock point below arrow just to see if that helps.  Widow

It can be the bow. I made one once when learning, and it would shoot in the dirt until you got used to it. It was way out of tiller. There is more to tillering a bow than a couple measurements. Try weighting one end then the other and see if anything changes.

[lpcjon2]

and whats the arrow set up and bow stats

[Bowmania]

Here's the problem.  When you have your NP set too low, the arrow hits the shelf and kicks up, making it look too high.  In fact you can't get a BS to shoot nock too low.

Use two nocking points one above and one below.  Start too high and when you move it more it just a 1/16th.

Don't be mistaken, I know how to shoot and tune. I was just wondrin if a bow could be messed up in the tiller dept.
I have never had a bow act like this.

[Bill Carlsen]

I have shot some aweful bows over the years. I would venture to guess that "yes"  a bow can be unshootable/untuneable.

[GREASEMAN]

Try talking to the Boyer who made it and see if he has any suggestions.Better yet,ask him if you can send it back to him to have it checked out.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Can You post pix of the bow?
un-braced
braced
half drawn
full draw

Also when the bow is braced measure at the fades to the string, they should be even or top limb 1/8" longer/higher. post pix and info.

Tried this with one I had doing the same thing one time, he told me to find it a good home.

[Old York]

With your bow arm straight out, pulling slowly
to full draw, does the bow 'want' to drift up or down?

[George D. Stout]

You haven't listed your arrows, etc.  Hard for us to tell or suggest anything without some idea of where you are with arrow spine/length, etc.

[Jock Whisky]

Robert try raising your brace height. I had the same problem and an old archer told me to try it. It worked for me.
