Title: tuning question
Post by: Jmatt1957 on August 27, 2015, 08:12:00 PM
I have a question about tuning. I am paper tuning my bow. my arrows are showing nock slightly high and to the right(im right handed). my question is. When I shoot I cant my bow to the right so does the arrow follow the cant, and is my arrow actually only nock high?

Have you tried shooting your bow vertical , I believe that's how you should bare shaft don't know about paper tunning.

Fix the nock high first! Always address the nock height first, and get it dead level. Then if, you are still tearing right or left, you can address the spine to correct that.

Everyone is correct, first, keep your bow vertical. Second, get the nock height correct. Third, address the spine

I bare shaft tune with my bow canted. Broadheads group with my field tips.  It can be a bit more difficult to decipher any issues, but I want to tune the same way I hunt.

If you are bareshafting note that some folks prefer a slightly nock high slightly weak shaft as this should straighten out with fletching.  My 2 cents.

It's fine to paper tune with a canted bow, just be aware that the results need to be interpreted in relation to the riser position, ie: nock-high tears will show up as more of a 1 o'clock - 7 o'clock for a right hand shooter.
