I shot with my natural cant like Byron showed.

Mostly I use OL's method. I shoot bareshafts with the bow perfectly vertical, canting will affect the flight. I bareshaft out to 25 yards to check what I worked out on paper beforehand.
This is what I haven't ever figured out with bare shafting....  One of the most awkward feeling I know of is shooting my bow perfectly vertical. I usually do it enough to get me pretty close and then slap four 5" feathers on and my broadheads fly fine.   :knothead:

Blaino,
I feel your pain. I tried holding vertical in all my failed attempts before. This time I just did as the video showed without over thinking and viola, it works for me, others mileage may vary.

Bran....Perhaps I may be fortunate enough to see in-person your tuning method after you relocate to my area next month.

Scott? I just got official word today, they want me in Paduca on the 22nd. A month early so wrenches were thrown in my plans but at least I got the job

Brian...Life often throws us a curve. Since you can hit one, you will be in fine shape.

Congrats on capitalizing your new job opportunity and please accept an early welcome to Kentucky.

When you fellows bare shaft do you have the bow perfectly vertical or shoot with your natural cant?

why would you want to tune a bow using one technique (holding straight) then change to another (cant) ?   If it works both ways, shoot it as it is comfortable to you (cant).  If it doesn't translate or work both ways. . .  its gonna change on you anyways.

Not computing. . .

Not to sound stupid but what does BH BS FP stand for ??

Brianlocal3

Walter,
I use them for Bareshaft (BS). Field point (FP) and brace height (BH) or broadhead (BH).

Thank you Brian!   Another question...  When you tune your other bows I assume you use a whole new set of arrows that will go for that bow?  And not tone the bow to the arrows?  So when all is done, if you have four different bows , some with the same specs , you still need a dedicated set of arrows?

Brianlocal3

In theory, that would be great.  And I do right now have a set of arrows for each bow, BUT I have some arrows that fly well from multiple bows. I keep a BS around and if I want to try out an arrow ill just switch point weights.  My CX 90s fly we'll with 175 from the vixen and fly from the Morningstar with 145.  The same cx90s fly good from my misty dawn too.  
Best bet would be for "optimal" performance a dedicated set is best but I have found I can fudge a bow /arrow combo around to work.

Woot! Woot! Congratulations Brian!!

Your driving distance from the great state of Missouri didn't increase by much....lol still just beyond the mighty Mississippi river.

As a youngster I made that crossover at Charleston MO into KY and back many times.(brings back many memories)

God bless,Mudd

I love a finely tuned arrow!!!! I just got home so I snuck out to sling a doz arrows. Haven't shot in 3 days and bam , bam , bam. Just on target. Gotta love it.

My 500s are 432 grains which is 8.64 GPP so with my new found tuning knowledge I grabbed some 400s, put in 100 grn inserts and a 175 point and got to cutting. Perfect flight at 29" so I weighed them and they are 532 grains which make 10.64 GPP. You can do anything without fear once you get the tuning down.

Since people are comparing his method to OL, could someone provide a brief explanation of the difference between the two?

Texas,
OL has you shooting 3 fletched , 3 BS all other things equal in the arrows untill they are all grouping together at 20 or so yards.
Byron has you standing 10 steps (yards) from a bag target. Shooting in to it and cutting the shaft down until it is reasonably striaght in the target. Then adjust nock height untill up and down its reasonably straight. Then shoot your fletched arrow and see how she does. Where I usually stop at means I have good arrow flight but I MAY need to tweak brace height up or down a smudge. Then go out and shoot a broadhead of the same weight as your FP and in my case its been good to go.

For ME its just a much simpler method and my results are still finely tuned arrows.
