It's my hope that if we can help with anything that ends up helping anyone shoot better then we are helping to ensure that we all have our best season this year. There is no slamming here on any issue pertaining to set up or methods. You can post the most obvious complaint here and not be treated with anything other than respect. When the time comes we want to hear how you were able to seal the deal and we want to see those Pics  We will do anything that we can to help ensure your success and we urge all of our members to do likewise. If you see someone who needs help and you have the answers....dont wait for staff .... lend a hand  |

When flight tuning, how critical is the vertical portion of the testing. I understand the horizontal ( center shot ) is crucial and all discrepancies should be eliminated, but when shootiing mine the 5 and 20 yard are dead on with each other and 10 yard is approximately an inch and a half higher than these. curious. Just started checking it today.

Just started checking it today. Both lines are critical. Work from 5 yards back. If the 10 yard does not match the 5 yard then you need to adjust for it. What is happening is that you are shooting the Apex before 20 yards. This to me is curious because there are not a heck of alot of set ups that hit apex at 15 yards anymore when talking about adult mens bows  Perhaps you could give me a bit more information and I could then determine why this is.? I need the arrows weight per inch or total weight of the shaft (bare) Need fletching type and head weight. Also total length of the arrow and your draw length. |

O.K. .... this makes more sense to me now that I can see the stats Yes.....15 yards flight flight is what I would look for and your at 13.5 Close enough  Some heads could pick up this slight de-tune but not many  If you wanted to get it dead nuts then you would set your horizontal at 5 and then 12 and adjust the gap to be shooting 15-25-35 pins for dead on. Whats your drop out at 20 yards when using the first pin which is set to shoot 15 yards now? |

Havent shot at a spot and changed my pins since tuning. Hope to soon and Ill post and let you know.
Something to think about, there is a fellow I know that used to compete in unmarked 3D (ASA or IBO?) with pins, release and done really well. He told me how to set your pins for yardages unknown. He stated start at 5, with a 3" bull and sight in dead center. Then walk back shooting groups until you come to the edge of the bull at the top (reset pin until you are at the top of bull at apex) and when that pin starts landing your groups at the bottom of the circle, set your next pin and then continue to do the same. He said until you start to approach 35 yds you could be off with your yardage estimation by 5 yards and still "score" or be in the 3" circle. Ive never done it but may try it this year. Ive always done 20, 30 and 40 but this would probably be more beneficial to the hunter.
