new phone helping to tiller
« on: January 18, 2019, 10:53:56 am »
Just got a new phone and was editing my pictures as I usually do to check my tiller, when I noticed this graph overlay that I could expand, contract, and spin around the picture. I was able to line the bow up perfectly in the graph allowing me to really hone in on the tiller. This might not be for everybody, but I really like it.

I hope I have that function on my phone. That would help me a lot. Thanks for the info.

I use that feature a lot. I have an arrow nocked so my wife can use the arrow as a reference to line up the horizontal line with it. That keeps the grid lined up with how the bow will be held, and show you which tip is moving more than the other.

The grid behind the tiller helps when your training your eye.  After your eye is trained the grid just seams to clutter things up.
Mid limb on the right/bottom is a bit stiff.  Your got a good start, but I wouldn't pull it any further untill you have the tiller fixed.

I like the video option too. This is actually a screen shot from a video.

How do you orintate the grid lines to the bow or draw picture?
Maybe this is too high tech for me to understand.

When i do this i nock an arrow. Then line the arrow up with the horizontal line.  That puts the bow pefectly square with the grid. The i line a bow tip up with one of the verticle lines. This shows me if the other, usually the lower, tip is forward or aft of the upper tip. The benefits there are self obvious, knowing which limb is stronger. Add the that you can put a 6 inch scale on the screen and take measurments to see where each limb needs adjustment. Also, you can lay tracing paper over the screen and draw one limb, then flip the paper to superimpose it over the ither limb, to check symetry. That can also be done through an app, but its too complicated for me, my wife does it when I ask her.

I think I'd be more concerned with the vertical line.

Just line it up with a bow tip.
