paper tuning

Yes, Thanks for the explanation.

How does french tuning work with a hind sight or other non peep based sight...  I can see how it would converge with the peep to getting everything in line, but I do not see how it can always do that with the peepless sight setups where the line of the sight and the line of the arrow do not necessarily converge at the same point during the entire tuning process...  I probably am missing something, but I figure it is worth asking.

My No Peep keeps me in the same vertical line at 20 or 80 as long as I don't try to cheat my eye outside the string to get a bit better of a view at the longer distance, and I shoot it either with or without a peep depending on my ideas for the year.  That being said, I use the No-Peep for hunting, and I use broadhead tuning for my hunting bow; I can't say for sure that I've changed it since I set it up 5 years ago, nor can I say for sure that I've tried the French Tuning with it.  I've always used peeps in my target bows, so that's a different story than your question. 

I see your dilemna, but I don't think it would be enough error to throw a Modified French Tuning session out of whack because my bow with the No-Peep and no peep sight hits the same vertical plane as the sight pins.  If there is an error, then I'm not a good enough shooter to be able to see it.

Very good thread - thanks for all the great info.

[GregMcFadden]

interesting...   I may try it, I may not, it depends on how it shoots as it currently stands.  Either way, I'll keep up the thread

Walk Back Tune
The first thing to do is ,If your sight has 1st 2nd and or 3rd axis leveling we need to level the sight. The sight I’m using is the new Black Gold Ascent single pin sight with 1st axis leveling. I level my sight block and then mount my sight , checking the level of the sight bar. Now that my sight is level I can now mount it on the bow. The bow I’m shooting is a 2010 PSE Axe6 set at 75lbs 28” Draw shooting a XX75 2413 arrow at 450 grains shooting 290fps.

sight level

move sight to level

[xXx Archery]

Get a peace of cardboard and put some tape on it. Level the line as you put it on the bale

Step up to 4 yards and shoot a arrow at the line.

If you are hitting left or right move your sight ONLY tell you are hitting the center of the line.

Now move back to 40-60yards I like shooting 40 with my hunting bows and 60 or 80 with my target bows. As you can see my arrows are hitting to the left of the line. I will now move my REST, very little to the right. After moving the rest I now move back to 4 yards and shoot the line making sure I’m still hitting the center of the line if not I move the SIGHT, After hitting the center at 4 yards I move back to 40 yards and shoot some arrows …Keeping notes of BAD shots …. I like to shoot 3 good shots before making any adjustments to my rest.

move the rest

[xXx Archery]

As you can see I’m still on the left side so I will repeat moving my rest to the right very little to the right and the shoot 4 yards  and 40 yards. Now I have arrows hitting the center at 4 yards and 40 yards now I will shoot a group at 40 yards

Well it looks like its shooting pretty good …robin hood…. . Great down a arrow
