There are many custom bowstring makers who produce strings to your exact. The brace height determines the specific point at which the arrow separates from the bowstring and the amount of bend the arrow has when the separation occurs. Set the Brace Height Compound bows Brace height is set by the compound bow manufacturer. Sometimes changing the brace height to a slightly higher or lower position will improve arrow flight and grouping.
This can be accomplished by changing the length of the string, as described previously for recurve bows. Remember, however, that changing the brace height of a compound bow affects the draw weight and draw length of the bow.
Nock tension should be tight enough so the arrow can easily support its own weight when the arrow is hanging vertically on the bowstring nock against the nocking point.
The arrow should separate from the string. If it does not, the nock is probably too tight for most target archery. For hunting, a slightly tighter nock-to-bowstring fit is often preferred. Four methods of bow tuning are described pp. Observe how the paper is torn. This tear indicates a high nocking point, clearance problem, or a very weak arrow if you are using a release aid. If the problem is unchanged after moving the nocking point a few times, the disturbance is most likely caused by a lack of clearance or by an arrow that is too weak if using a release aid.
To identify a clearance problem, check to see if the arrow fletching is hitting the arrow rest. CR - If no clearance problem exists and you are using a mechanical release, try: 1. A more flexible arrow rest blade if using a launcher type rest or reduce downward spring tension on adjustable tension launcher rests.
Decreasing peak bow weight if there is an indication the arrow spine is too weak. Reducing the amount the shaft overhangs the contact point on the arrow rest. Choosing a stiffer arrow shaft. This tear indicates a stiff arrow reaction for right-handed archers using finger release RF, CF.
Left-handed finger release archers will have an opposite pattern. This is an uncommon tear for right-handed compound archers using a mechanical release CR. Before tuning, be sure that shafts are straight, properly fletched, and have perfectly aligned nocks. Choose Your Shooting Style. When separate tuning procedures are required for specific setups, find your setup within the topic and follow those specialized instructions. Install All Accessories Before starting any bow tuning, be sure to install on your bow all the items you intend to use when shooting.
This includes the correct bowstring, bow sight, stabilizers, arrow rest, cushion plunger, bow quiver, etc. Any adjustments made to the bow or changes in bow components can affect the tune of your equipment. Remember, when tuning, it is very important to change only one variable at a time! The first phase in achieving well tuned equipment is good preliminary equipment setup. If the initial setup is done correctly, bow tuning can be an easy process.
By following the bow setup guidelines in the initial preparation of your equipment, you can eliminate most or all of the possible disturbances that cause tuning problems, including false tuning indicators.
