2. What are you trying to practice?and has nocking point been gear up?Read upward on paper tuning and how to employ a bow square

3. If you will become on the web, see if you tin find a resources on paper testing. Draw length has to exist correct and pointer stiffness has to be right.

   You tin can learn to tune your own bow - just got to read up on it some. I always like to shoot an arrow at 50 yards after I idea I had information technology squared away.

   These days - I accept the bad shoulder and shoot a crossbow. Not much tuning to a crossbow - wax - wax and wax some more than. Cord and rail.

   Skilful luck.

4. I do some stuff in the basement for turkey season, but specifically what are you wanting to achieve?

5. Well I went to the local indoor range and they charge 79 dollars to tune like what is tuning

6. To tell you the truth, At that place is a lot to it if you really desire to get into information technology. There are countless videos on YouTube to practise stuff with, but I don't have a bowpress for the large ticket items. My buddy owns a bowshop, and then I know how involved information technology can get when you kickoff trying to time cams, and recoup for stretching cables/strings. Await at some videos on bare shaft tuning, and build a newspaper trap... I proceed ane arrow out of every dozen I build bare shaft literally as my tuning arrow.

   If your bow has been set up prior, just keep performing maintenance checks on information technology. What I practice, is a simple melody in my basement many times a year via paper tuning. If things are changing quite a chip, I know it'southward time to expect deeper.

   Once a yr I go to my buddy north have him look the bow over. This year I'chiliad due for a string, and then it'southward gonna get fun as far every bit maintaining tuning.

   It'southward not a hard thing to maintain if your setup is solid from the first. The archery talk forums are a slap-up resource if you can sort through the arguments

7. 79.00 is highway robbery by the style

8. Yeah I just left another store they told me 120 and a tip so I said screw that

9. That'south crazy. Where are you located?

10. If $79 is based on an experienced tech's stance that the task requires three hours of work, I don't think that's exorbitant. The other shop probably idea it was four or more hours of piece of work.

    Youtube is your friend if you desire to learn how to DIY. But you volition accept to invest in some equipment and supplies. Money spent either fashion.

11. What every body else said X2. Pretty much comes downwardly to fine adjustment of the arrow rest, centered ( left or right) on the string. And upward and down (knocking point).
    Pit falls:
    Cam timing. normally a cord trouble or limb out of adjustment
    Not enough arrow spine. (stiffer heavier arrow or reduce draw weight)
    I take found that after the paper tuning,if you shoot at a target barrel lxx yards away, with the sunday low yous tin meet the pointer flight very clearly due to the sharply upward angle, making picking out porpoising or fish tailing easily. It is very satisfying to tune it yourself. Be patient. Savor the journeying.

12. If y'all're serious about archery, learn how to do it. Online resources are readily bachelor. I of my become to sources is the Easton bow tuning guide. Please notation that only because your shop says things are tuned doesn't mean stock-still blade broadheads will shoot exactly like field tips. In my experience, further tweaking is most always necessary. I use both bare shafts and the walk back method to melody. Besides proceed in mind that bow tuning is static. It shifts with stretching strings and cables and so being able to tweak things on your own is essential.

    Gator and Doe Shooter similar this.

13. Lots of good info on archerytalk also. There really is a lot to tuning a bow but it'south nada overly complicated, just takes fourth dimension to figure out all the diverse pieces to truly tune a bow.

14. I relish annihilation everything archery so tuning my bow is enjoyable. I've never had a problem tuning. Archerytalk is where I learned a back effectually 2000. Paper tuning is all you need to worry most unless you decide to shoot tournaments. Then you may want to worry about tuning a little finer. The tools y'all demand are non that much and if y'all programme on doing any work should get anyhow. For a printing you tin brand one pretty like shooting fish in a barrel but I just bought one of those portable presses. They are basically cables you tighten to pull the limbs in. Ane solar day I will become out there and make a real one. There are plenty of videos on YouTube. As far as timing your cams, well you only demand to worry almost that with dual cam. If yous have a solo cam and then no timing is involved. I know some people have wanted their cams tuned with a solo cam. I merely laugh because that height wheel is circular. Give it a shot. It's actually not bad to practise.

15. As others have mentioned, archery talk is a great resource. I think at that place is still a PDF y'all can download called "the nuts and bolts of archery". Information technology'southward a keen read and a great reference if you ain a compound bow.

    I have an elite and have to fourth dimension my cams. I bought a 'bow fourth dimension machine' from a fellow member on AT that doubles as a draw lath and a press. It allows me to fourth dimension my cams, check draw weight, supervene upon strings/cables and do everything I need to do to my bow. I tin't retrieve how much it was, but it allows me to do my own work.

    It'll pay for itself adequately quickly at $fourscore to $120 a trip. Specially if you shoot quite a chip and replace your cables/string regularly.

16. I don't paper tune where I piece of work, but will check/time the bow, bank check/fix peep alignment, and brand sure everything is squared up for $25. I will tell customers how to walk back tune at their firm(information technology lets you shoot the bow while tuning). The merely way I charge more is parts, similar strings, cable, peeps, etc.
