where should the nock be in reference to the rest? mine looks like the nock is too low. but maybe it is supposed to be that way. any help is appreciated thanks.
I don't know, but someone here will. I think it makes a difference whether you shoot compound or trad. You might want to post what you shoot. Welcome to the site. :D
If anything, It should be a bit high. Here's and excerpt from BH.coms Bowhunting Knowledge Pages & the link to the tuning page. It's a great start.... Bow Tuning Basics
I shoot a PSE mojave compound. Draw weight 59lbs. 29" draw with Gold tip Hunter XT arrows. I am having problems getting my groups tighter than 6". Wondering if it is a tuning problem are just need more practice. thanks
I agree that most bows end up being level to slightly nock high, depending on the setup. Post up some more info...what size and length arrows, what rest, what is your bh weight, etc. Are your arrows fishtailing or porpoising? Have you shot bh's? 6" group...fp or bh, and at what distance? The more info - the easier it will be for someone to help you.
OK not sure what you just said there. sorry i am fairly new to this. The groups don't matter what distance is the weird thing. At 40 yards they are 6" and at 25 yards they are 6". I am gonna try paper tuning today if this rain lets up. thanks for the help so for. I'll keep you informed on my results.
Your centershot may be off as well (left/right position of the rest). Paper tuning should get you close to where you need to be if not spot on. I usually paper tune to get me started and then broadhead tune. I bareshaft tuned my Bowtech Tribute and it worked great. Tried bareshaft tuning my new Admiral....couldn't get the results to change no matter what I tried. That tuning process very frustrating. So I would recommend paper tuning first(make sure your form is good while doing so) and then proceed to broadhead tuning, once you get a good tear with the paper. Shoot a group of field point (FP) arrows and then shoot a couple broadhead tipped (BH) arrows at the same spot. Remember to "chase your FP's with your BH's"...what I mean by that is this. If your BH arrows hit left of the FP arrows, move the rest to the right "chasing the FP's." If your BHs hit low of your FP's, then move your REST up (or you could move your nock point down). Its usually easier to move your rest. The idea is to get your Bhs and FPs hitting the same spot. Good luck!
yes this is becoming frustrating. I was paper tuning and they seemed to hit right on. however when viewing the arrow down from the top to eyeball the center point. the arrow looked way far to the left, when trying to adjust my rest i stripped a part and then went to the pro shop. They didn't have what i needed to replace, go figure, so i bought a new rest. Quiktune 1000 by NAP. The guy at the shop installed it and got it close to where it needed to be. Then i went to go shoot in the yard and got sightted in at 25 yds. and it started raining so i couldn't really get any furhter. However the new rest does adjust a lot easier than the older one. Hope to get out again tonight or tommorrow once the rain stops. Thanks, keep the advice coming.
If that NAP Quicktune 1000 is anything like the NAP QT 2000 I had....I feel sorry for you. Mine was hard to adjust because you could not adjust centershot and height individually.
yeah centershot and height adjust at the same time but if it says anything for the last rest i had, this one is still better.
