opinions tuning a bow

[gto_guy]

I just got a vermillion river takedown longbow from the st jude auction and I`m trying to get it tuned.It`s 62" long 57lbs at 30" I draw 27.I was shooting a 1916 29" long with 100 grain tips.I`m using OL Adcocks instructions.I have the brace height at 7" with nock at 11/16 shot 6 arrows at 15 yards 3 fletched and 3 bare.This was the first 6 I shot.According to stus calculator this 1916 is a hair too light of spine.I`m new to this tuning so I wanted your opinions on this.

What was the distance?  I would say it looks pretty good.  Nock point might be a tad high, but not bad.  I always find Stu's calc gives me very stiff arrows, so I start longer and shorten until they group together and the bare shaft arrow flight looks straight.

15 yards and I was shooting down because target is on the ground.I figured that was the reason for the back of the arrow to be higher than the front

Your bag looks like it's taken a few shots.  This may impact arrow angle after finally settling in bag.

Looks like you're a great shot to me and the arrows are pretty darn good.

I find the part of my set-up that requires the most refinement on an on-going basis is me.

Also I believe that the one bare shaft you see that is really high at the nock is possibly because I heard it hit another shaft on the way in

It looks very god so far. At this point, I'd back up another 5-10 yards and see if they're still grouping together.

Don't even think about the angle! You look very good. You got it untill you are ready to broadhead tune. Good Job

What SS Snuffer said.
You are looking good.
Time to tune the broadheads.

Cool now that I know I need 100 grain broad heads I will get them ordered.Only have 125`s and 200`s right now.Really appreciate the help guys.Thats why I love this site.Still have 2 more bows to tune when new arrows get here

When I tune I like to get back about 25 yds or so. Even if the groups are larger, its much easier to see if there is seperation of the shafts. Also shoot 5 or six groups to get a real feel for where thay are hitting. Also when shooting broadheads at 30 yards it less likely to trash half your arrows.

Couldn't be said better.  If I'm not mistaken doesn't O.L.s method say to ignore nock orientation and pay attention to grouping anyway?  You also have to remember when bare shafting that just because we are human we have a tendancy to have a not so clean release from time to time which will effect nock orientation at impact

I'd step back to twenty five yards or so and give it a try.  If it's anything like the groups you posted, you're good.  Don't sweat a little variation between bare and fletched shafts at the longer range, you have to be really good and consistent to group them perfectly together as distance increases.  I would focus on form and practice.  In a few weeks try again with the bare shafts.  Nice shooting...
