mainebuck Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 hopefully some of you tuning experts can give me a good start on this problem. I just put my sight and rest back on my bow. This is a new sight I haven't shot with before. First time shooting at 10 yards my arrow went way over the target. I moved the rest up almost as far up as it can go. I'm still hitting about 10 inches high at 10 yards. Should I move my nocking point up or down to alleviate this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: help with tuning Where are your pins located? If your pin is high, the arrow will go low. If the pin is low, your arrow will go high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: help with tuning my pins area already up about as high as they can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leadbuck Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: help with tuning I would start with the nock set. I set mine 1/8 high of center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: help with tuning Are the arrows flying true? Something is whacked for sure. I would check center shot also...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: help with tuning Assuming your bow was sighted in well before the change....Bring your rest back down to level (arrow square with string) First off...forget where your bow is shooting at the target for now Check your knock point (it should be about 1/8" high from square. If it's not, lower your rest untill it is 1/8" high from level. Now paper tune to make sure your rest is OK right to left and not tearing right, left or low If your rest is too high, you will be tearing the paper low. Once you've done the paper tuning, you don't move anything but your sights after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: help with tuning yeah I probably should paper tune, but I was afraid I'd miss the target all together with the way my sights were setup. here's more info. I had the bow tuned a bit last week. guy at the pro shop tuned for center shot, tuned my drop away rest, put on a new nock point and string loop. the guy seemed to know what he was doing although he was eyeing everything, not using a string level. arrow flight does not seem erratic.

buckee Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: help with tuning OK, so he tuned it for centre shot, and you raised the rest up ??? You shouldn't have touched the rest or need to change the knock point...you should have only adjusted the pins, until you were hitting home.

mainebuck Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: help with tuning that's right on buckee. I didn't move the rest or nock point yet. I shot at 10 yards and even with my sight and pins all the way up I'm hitting 10" high at that distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
