Bare Shaft Tuning: The Saga Continues
WhistlingBadger:
OK. How would I know if I have string alignment problems? Also, my brace height is 5 1/2".
artcher1:
A couple things come to mind. First you sight down the bow from tip to tip and see if the string cuts center of handle. Or nock an arrow and see where it makes contact on each side the riser. If both contact points are the same then you may have some limb twisting going on when the bow is drawn...….Art

Could you elaborate on that, Art? Not sure I'm following you.
Thanks for the help and advice, guys. I'll get this figured out.

OK, nock an arrow, place it against the riser (assuming your bow has a straight handle without a cut-in shelf) on the right side and mark where it makes contact. Now flip the arrow around to the left side of the riser and mark where it makes contact. If the string is well centered, both contact marks on the left and right sides of the riser will appear in the same position. If not, the contact marks will appear off-set form each other......Art

Art,,.could u explain a different way,,I don't quite get it...
WB,,..sorry if u already said this,,,but how far are u drawing the bow,,,put a mark or tape on the arrow..,.draw the bow like shooting,,,not just pulling it back...sometimes when we shoot the draw will be different,.,if your handle is a bit square you may be twisting the handle a bit as u shoot...causing the arrow to respond to that,,,hold bow with loose grip,..try 6 inch brace
