Title: New bow tuning suprise!
Post by: JamesKerr on April 06, 2012, 06:19:00 PM
Well I just got through tuning my new Legacy series Tomahawk 55# @ 28". I draw 27.5" and started with a 30.25" 340 Trad only with a 100 grain brass insert and 200 grain points as this was a little stiff for my one piece Tomahawk. To my suprise and delight right off the bat the bareshafts grouped right with the field tips. I thought it must be a fluke. So yesterday I shot the same arrows and bareshafts and yep they grouped together again. So today for the final test I got a broadhead arrow and a field tip arrow and wet the fletching on the broadhead arrow. I shot these two arrows from 15 yards and couldn't believe the results. Almost every time they grouped within an inch of each other. I figured that was plenty good enough and proceeded to watch the best arrow flight I have seen yet.

Plenty good enough Indeed.  Gotta love when everything comes together without even trying.

Sounds good James.

I am doing the same thing right now also.  I cut down some GT3555 Traditionals to shoot with my fletched arrows.  On to the broadheads next.
