Tuning

(1/3) > >>

WoolSocks:
Wondering if I’ve hit the limits of how well my bow can be tuned. I’m shooting a Bear Arena 34. Have gone through several rounds of improvements.

1. Broadheads were hitting 8 inches left at 40 yards. Tried paper tuning myself (we have a press at the bow range, so was just putting twists in), but couldn’t get much improvement.

2. Was time for a new string anyway so I took it to Nock Point for a new string and tune up. Got better accuracy, but still throwing 8 inches left.

3. Took it back to nock point. They found a very slight lean in the cam and fixed that, tuned it up again. Now it’s still throwing broadheads to the left, but less so (3-4 inches at 40 yards)

Perhaps this is as good as it gets? I’m getting a bit tired of messing with it. At this point I can shoot good groups with mechanicals (6 arrows in 2inch groups  at 40 yards, or 3 inch groups at 60). COC Broadheads move about an inch left per 10 yards, and get somewhat less accurate groups. Kind of starting to think mechanicals are my solution here.

Other info
28.5 draw length
440grain arrow. Getting about 75lbs of KE.
3-fletch Easton bloodline arrows. 11 percent FOC.
I do spin test my arrows
Drop-away rest.

Thanks for any opinions!

Longfield1:
Knock tuning or move the right just a smidge to have a happy medium. 4" at 40 yards is not acceptable in my book.
What kind of fletching style and degree.
If you shoot a bareshaft through paper at 6 feet what kind of tear are you getting.

hughjorgan:
Have you not tried moving your rest in small increments to get your field points and Broadheads to come together?

Have you ever shot a bare shaft out of your setup?

Stein:
Move your rest, you should be able to get them to hit same point pretty easily.  It only takes a very small adjustment and I would probably mark your rest before you start and then again when you are done.

Will moving the rest get the broadheads to group with field points, or just move both groups to the right? They did paper tune it at the bow shop.
