Bareshaft testing and nock height - need input

<< < (2/10) > >>

Pappy:
I also look at left and right, they usually hit knock high, now if it is really bad knock I may adjust it a bit but just a little I go with that. We're not talking about cars Del, we are talking about arrows, now an air plans with out wings might be another matter. ;) ;D ;D ;D

Do you check out the handling of your car by trying it without the tyres? ::)  >:D

To adapt that analogy a little, I would think of bare shaft testing more like balancing your tires, yes it's possible to test the tires on the car, but you would only find big obvious problems, whereas if you test the tire on a balancing machine it's much easier to detect smaller issues.

Yeah, but I've never seen tires balanced on a machine! Only the wheel and tyre assembled together and that's my point.
... forget I ever mentioned it... ::) (wanders off in search of a cup of tea, seein as how you're all gangin' up on me  ;) "Tires" indeed... never heard of such a thing ::))

I think we may be forgetting that we speak "English". Del would be the one who IS English! >:D
