Quote from: Stringwacker on Today at 08:09:39 AM...In my case the broadhead needs to be able 20 grains less than the field point most of the time.Thanks for putting some numbers on it; makes it easier to see. I shoot an elevated rest with AAE trad vanes or feathers, and have noticed a difference.
Often the dynamic shaft weakening by the broadhead is largely offset by the addition of feathers on the back of the shaft...which stiffens the dynamic spine by nature of the 12 grains or so...
Quote from: Tajue17 on Today at 05:52:37 AMI have to tune by flight because i use big broadheads and they can offset the point of impact on me if the arrow nock is badly kicking to one side,,, once i get straight flight at at least 15yds i then start over bareshafting but canting the bow at my normal stsnding shot and ususlly i have to lower string nock a smidge and raise the point weight...... but most friends just bare tune olympic style and go with that.
Your form along with even tension on thise fingers is important,,, and if you are new one of those silent klydex draw checks black widow sells will eliminate so much mistakes,,, remove it after a year when your draw length and anchor are locked in solid!!!
Quote from: Kirkll on December 09, 2025, 08:43:12 PMHis bow is 1/8" positive.Quote from: BrushWolf on December 07, 2025, 04:06:45 PMMy boy started shooting a trad bow last summer. He shoots it with a fixed crawl and shoots it very well. He has killed 4 deer now with that style. I built his current bow and tillered it for shooting with a fixed crawl. I have recently dabbled into it myself and built a couple sets of limbs just for shooting that way. So far it seems to be working fine and something to play around with.we set are bows up at 15 yards and don't see an issue shooting to 20 yardsI'm curious how much positive tiller you are using for a fixed crawl?
Quote from: Kirkll on December 09, 2025, 06:18:37 PMDon't overlook the thickness of the strike plate for tuning, and the material used. Depending on your riser, and how far too, or past center it's cut. The strike plate material used can make a big difference on stiffer shafts. For example.... A Velcro strike plate is soft and has a bit of cushion, and a thin leather strike plate is harder and can allow more center shot using a stiffer shaft with less tip weight.100% agree. I fought for a couple of hours shooting .204 ID carbons out of my long bow cut past center and flat out would not bare shaft tune for me. Finally took a break and sat down to ruminate. Only thing I had not tried, so changed the strike plate thickness and it was like magic. Lazers with Broadheads too
Food for thought...
Quote from: Mint on December 09, 2025, 04:00:50 PMThanks for responding, it looks like everyone looks at the flight as opposed to how it sticks in the target which makes sense to me. I'm going to use a lighted nock to tune since i will be hunting with them so that should make it easier to see what is happening.
Quote from: Crooked Stic on April 05, 2024, 08:00:26 AMMy experience using twill just adds to the stack.so how thick the twill is how much core to leave out. Stack is the same. Just twill and no glass may not be enough tho.
