the real ticket is "group tuning"

<< < (4/6) > >>

TSA:
remember, that if you have shortened the shafts as much as you safely can, and they are still a tad weak, you can tune your bow a bit to want the weaker shafts
1. by building the strike plate out a bit, taking the center of the shaft further from the center of the bow, will make the bow want a weaker shaft. You can do this by maybe adding a layer or two of double-sided carpet tape under the strike plate- it doesnt take much!
or a slightly thicker leather strike plate, or the soft side of velcro will also do it.
2.increasing your braceheight, will make a stiff arrow behave weaker
decreasing the BH will make a weak arrow behave stiffer

but lowering or raising too much will cause other problems, noise, efficiency etc.
its not something i would mess with too much, but will as a last resort.

just do a wee bit, and build the strike plate out a wee bit. a little bit goes a long way in all this.
good luck!

note on center shot bows- the raising of the Bh will have the opposite effect, as the power stroke is being changed.
whereas on non center shot bows, it seems to relate to the angle of the arrow on the bow- lower the brace height, the arrow points out further from the bow, making it behave stiffer!

the BH adjustment is such a contarversial topic, and results really seem to vary!!

Stick Bender:
Ok thanks increasing the brace height is not a option I'm at 7 in. from the back which is max for me with out causing set I will try cutting the arrows hopefully that will work I'm close now if not I have your tips in my pocket , thanks for the thread Wille very informative !  Plus on the bow I'm working on now I'm leaving the handle unfinished tell the end and TSA with your idea of width change changing the spine I'm going to try tuning the width to the arrow a combo of spine and width to tune ,something new to try !

TSA:
the brace height option  is my least favourite option, as changing the BH, can affect so many other things.
i agree, i would try everything else first.
sometimes we can all get a little lost in all the fine print, i have to be careful of that  at times  :D

good luck with your new build
cheers

TSA:
heres the "form chart".. couldnt upload last night- internet too slow!
this chart assumes that the spine is correct for the bow- but certain form issues will create certain arrow flight abnormalities.

DC:
OK, I'll bite. Mouth open???
