Is there a way to tune a selfbow?

<< < (3/3)

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Are you used to shoot glass centershot bows ?


.....your arrows could be spined right and hit 5" left, when I first started to move to selfbows I build up the plate on my glass bows to make hem shoot like selfbows, that helped the transition, if today I pick up a centershot bow I would shoot right just because I adjusted my sight.

when I get a glass bow nowadays I get it without a cut in, I can go back and forth without any needed adjustment

mullet:
 If your arrows are sticking straight in the target, they are probally spined right. It sounds like you are shooting off your hand and not correcting for the paradox, shooting around the handle. Tilt the upper limb of  the bow to the right or aim a little more to the right.

 I shoot center shot and off the hand, full handle bows. I always have to adjust my point of aim whenever I switch bows. It takes me a few shots to adjust and I usually shoot the same arrows. Most of my arrows are tuned to shoot out of different bows.

Kegan:
I just tune my bows all to the arrows I have. Even on my widest handle bows, if I can get the bow/arrows matched then I can always jsut shoot in a straight line with the target and not have to worry. I think that's because I'm too mentally lazy (stupid ;D) to keep tying to compensate for different bows.

Looks like you have lots of options now :)
