Here is how my French tuning went. I decided I wanted to crank my bow it more so I took it from 60 to 70lbs. Just for curiosity arrow flight accuracy did not change one bit. So I started the tuning with the gold to kinetic xt. Shot at 3 yards then at 20 yards. Here is how it ended. Then I wanted to see if my flatlines would very at all. All went well I thought. On one of the flatlines the fletching is torn that one kept wanting to shoot a hair left. Tomorrow I will shoot outside of my garage and see how they group and try a broadhead out. If needed more tuning bareshaft tune and shoot through paper to see how I need to yoke tune with out moving the rest. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Changing poundage is changing your dynamic spine and according to archers advantage was perfect. It looks good now but broadheads will be the tell all. Did you have to move your rest? You can fine tune your french tune by moving back to 30 and 40 yards. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I know changing Poundage would change my spine. I can always go back to 60. I slightly moved my pins to the right and brought my rest towards the riser (so right also). Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
So I ran into a bit of an issue. After I payed with the rest some I noticed when the rest dropped it would hit the riser and make noise. I didn't like it so I raised the rest and the d loop and started over. Started shooting groups again and busted up done fletching. Now I have my bare shaft. Shot once and hit five inches right and high with nock angled left with the bare shaft of my fletched arrow at fifteen yards. Made one small adjustment left and dropped the rest as well as took over full turn out of the limbs. Then I shot again and busted my fletched arrow nock with the bare shaft. Went to basspro picked up a bow press and done more nocks. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
After setting centershot with french tune, you don't move it to bareshaft. You then use the split yoke to adjust the bareshaft. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Alright that makes more sense. I will tinker with it more tomorrow. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Disregard the one full turn, forgot I mentioned that in the previous post Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Keep adjusting yoke to bring bareshaft over to fletched. I would stick a broadhead on and see if it is hitting high. If it is, adjust rest down. If not you have a slight timing issue. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Let me add, I believe you have increased the poundage too much. Your spine should have been perfect before. So, if things start to look like they aren't responding positively to your adjustments, that would be my first correction. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I shot out to 50 yards with fletched arrows to French tune and made one tiny adjustment to the rest and sight. + 2 twists to the left side yoke and -2 twists to the right. I am thinking your right with the spine. I will turn the limbs down again, I think that's why the bare shaft is impacting at that angle. Please correct me if my thinking is wrong.

I wouldn't be overly concerned with the angle of the bareshaft. It might be spine but more than likely it has more to do with an unstable arrow trying to penetrate a hard target. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Even if I see the arrow flying at that angle shooting from twenty yards? I am going to try a slick trick and see how things go. Now if a fletched arrow impacts left or right with a broadhead do I adjust the rest, sight, or the yoke? Vertical I know I have to adjust the rest. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
X2, bare shaft angles can be tricky both in a block and even more so a target bag...be careful and don't put a whole lot of stock in it unless you have other factors or indicators pointing to an issue.
If the arrow is impacting left or right with the bareshaft hitting with fletched, you have a spine issue, inadequate fletch or your broad heads are not aligned straight in the shaft. If the broadhead is hitting high, then your rest is too high or nock point is too low. If it is the same, you have a timing issue per bareshaft impact. I actually like to set timing by creep tuning and that usually eliminates vertical issues. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Broadhead and field point at twenty yards. Shot at 30 yards and had to drop the rest. Still needs a little bit more fine tuning. Have to wait till next weekend, getting to shaky with the bow and have some nursing homework. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
For reference. Bareshaft hitting right is a weak spine reaction. Broadheads hitting right is a weak spine reaction. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
