Positive Tiller: Top limb distance is greater than the Bottom limb distance (common in Olympic recurves). (Example - top limb tiller is 7-1/8", bottom limb tiller is 7")

Neutral Tiller: Top distance = Bottom distance (equal). (Example - top limb tiller is 7", bottom limb tiller is 7")

Negative Tiller: Bottom limb distance is greater than the Top limb distance (bigger gap at the bottom). (Example - top limb tiller is 7", bottom limb tiller is 7-1/8")

Quote from: M60gunner on December 11, 2025, 01:44:13 PMI am confused by what the difference is between "string walking " ,"fixed crawl" and "point on" means in realation to shooting various distances? I can see advantages but in a hunting scenario I may not know the exact range. Help

string walking = having the arrow nock held onto the string with a pair of string nock points so that the actual 3FU grip can be applied anywhere below those nock points ... the arrow point becomes the aiming "sight".

fixed crawl = setting up a bow so that at least one string arrow nock point will be "point on" at a specific distance, the forefinger of the 3FU grip will always touch the arrow's nock.

In both of the above, there typically will be negative tiller to the bottom limb in order to compensate for its increased draw.

Fixed crawl means that you find a string location somewhere, maybe 1/2", below the normal string location, such that if you grip the string there you can aim point on at your desired hunting distance, maybe 20 yards.  You mark that location by serving down to it, or putting a separate string nock there, so you can find it easily in a hunting situation.  Typically, if you chose 20 yards, you would still be in the kill zone if you are standing anywhere from 15-25 yards away from the target.

Point on means the distance where you can use the point of the arrow to aim without gapping.  That is, the distance where you can put the point of the arrow on the spot you want to hit, and you will hit that spot if you do everything else correctly.  For example, my point on without using a fixed crawl is about 45 yards.

String walking is a more complicated way of using a crawl (a variable crawl, so to speak), so that you know for any distance up to your normal point on distance where to hold the string to hit the spot at that distance.  For example, to string walk and hit the spot at 30 yards, I might have to hold the string 3/8" down from my normal hold under the arrow.  This distance is usually measured in stitches on a tab, so for my example, 3/8" might be 3 stitches.  This is a normal way of aiming in bare bow, but most people would think it is too complicated to use in a hunting situation.
