thanks, I just went ahead and did it a few weeks back, and so far its working great :) I don't have any serving, but I used some black tape to do basically the same job. I appreciate the response anyways, thanks bro
Well explained, does that mean the sights are already adjusted prior to installation and once this is done there’s no need to adjust them or this is only starting point and then we have to use sights adjusting mechanism to accomplish better accuracy.
There are rules in paper tuning. If you don't know them it's easy to give up on a bow that can make excellent shots. Because you don't know how to paper tune. Read on it by Easton arrows.
the first method with the 10-20y adjustment with the tape running side to side, it does make a difference from 10-20 it is small, but it will make it not hit exactly in the center of the tape at both, for example, my bow is shooting 322fps with a 305 grain arrow, so pretty fast and the highest it will hit is 14, so the difference between 14 and 20 will be just a little different, and this is even more dramatic for slower bows. good advice on sliding the d-loop around though. pse kid.
You can accomplish the same thing at 1 yard and 10 yards with respect to the windage. It's called French tuning I believe. It's a better method if you don't have a place where you can shoot out to 40 yards.
is it safe to put a D-loop on a compound bow that has a plain string with no notches or markings? I want a release for my compound, but have no D-loop. Obviously I'm not stupid enough to try a release without a D-loop.
Even if the trajectory is completely flat and your shooting is perfect its physically impossible to hit in the same spot at 10 and 20 yards using the same dot on the sight. The sights are situated above the arrow so your sight line will never be parralell to your trajectory. Your sight line will be a slight diagonal whereas the trajectory of the arrow should be completely horizontal.
Also, the bows trajectory is never flat. It's in a rising trajectory. Then, depending on the distance. It may drop or fall to earth. I leave you with this tidbit of a pome by Saxton Pope. - The long, delicious mountain paths are yours. The estacy of cool running streams I give to you, when athirst. But last of all, leave for you. The joy of youth that throbs a moment in a well bent bow. Then, leaps fourth in the flight of an arrow. - Title, " The Adventurous Bowman. " in short, the story of life.
@@paulblackburn931 Of course its not flat but for the first 10 yards the arrow will have enough velocity for it to appear to have a somewhat flat trajectory. In all sight assisted shooting we talk about "near zero", "far zeo" and "apogee". Near zero is the first point were your projectile intersects your sight line, far zero is the second point and apogee is the highest point in the trajectory between the two. If you look at the angle between trajectory and sight line and imagine it as a triangle, having a zero that is very close to you means that the angles of the tringle will be wide. This means the apogee will be higher above your sight line increasing the distance between far zero and near zero because as we know an arrow fired at an upwards angle travels further. Without doing any math on this I would estimate that its not possible to zero at 10 and 20 yards on the same sight line (same dot on the scope) with an adult size bow. The arrows are too fast and the scope is mounted too high above the arrow affecting the smallest possible angle.
Brother, a bow is not a long-range weapon. This method is simply to get the BOW accurate. Setting distances is for finding distance to what distance an animal is. To make a killing shot.
You say if you over to the left then you have to move your sight to the right? Isnt it the complete opposite and you follow your arrow???? I was always told to chase my arrow if im shooting right move right shooting left move left up for up and down for down?
Trevor Mackenzie If your talking about if your hitting left at 40 yards at 3:36 in the video .He doesn't say to move the sight to the right he said to move the rest to the right . The rest is what the arrow sets on when the bow is pulled back .
The only problem I see with that is a inconsistent shooter could be pulling jerking and twitching wich could have them chasing arrows all day. But good advice theirs always another way to skin a cat
Don't always rely on the string being right down the centre of the riser. Far better to measure the distance from the edge of the limb to the centre of the string at the cam and make a mark on the inside of the limb (on a piece of masking tape) at this distance on the base of the limb where it meets the riser. Do this on each limb and line the string up with this not the riser....then line up the centre of the rest with the string as a starting point.
john li Cam lean is not the only cause for the string being off centre. It could be down to poor assembly at the manufacturers or machining tolerances being on their limits but still within spec before you even look at whether you have cam lean or not! There are many causes but even if you have no cam lean when the bow is at rest it could have lean and misalignment when the bow is at full draw! Sometimes having a more complex bow leads to having more complex problems too!
Sir, you're wrong about moving your pin to the right, away from the first impact point after the first shot that impacts to the left. You said move the pin away from the impact point. You always move it towards the impact point. To bring it to the center of your target. My understanding. Is that you said after the first impact point that is to the left. You then said, "Move it even more to the right. That would make your 40-yard impact. Even farther to the left. You always move your pin towards the impact point to get it on target.
Bs. If your dead on at 20 yards,and move your rest to get dead on at 40...guess what? You'll no longer be spot on at 20 because you moved your rest. Smh....total waste of a video and time.
Guess what? The suggestion to move the rest addresses centering left and right. The rest is not moved up or down. A properly centered bow will hit the vertical line at all ranges.
@@MrEye4get yes it doesnt affent up or down. But your statement reiterizes what i said. If your dead on at one distance,then move it to get dead on at another,then your now off feon your original setting
Rememder this is for setting up your rest. When shooting at 20 and its dead on then right or left at 40 means your arrow is drifting meanlng your center shot is off. Once you get arrows in perfect line hitting perfectly under each other at all ditances then center shot is set and your sight should good or very close. It's a good idea to always do nock polnt setting first.
