I do mine straight an even with paper, but a high percentage of people shoot, practice at a decline angle anyways so it will probably be better for them to do it at a angle down.
Question for you sir if your rest is a touch to the left and not dead in line but everything is flying correctly and I’m shooting bullet holes do I need to leave it alone or adjust the cables to get it center shot
huge fan of you guys at lancaster, but i have to open my mouth a little lol the downward angle you're shooting into the paper on this video can give a false high tear, best to have the arrow as level as possible through the paper :) and you should also recommend shooting through paper at different distances, close for initial setup and farther out (20-ish feet) to diagnose arrow spine issues and to fine tune. ok im done lol :) keep up the good work :)
Hey, thanks for the kind words. Just a few explanations here so following readers understand....you won't get a false high tear at that angle if your arrow is flying straight. The nock still follows directly in the middle of the fletchings. The downward angle is not the same as an arrow that's flying nock high. That tears the paper differently than an arrow flying straight, but at a downward angle. We don't advocate the distance paper tuning to check for spine issues. We prefer bareshaft tuning at distance to define spine problems, because if an arrow is just slightly under or over spined, you can get a bullet hole shooting a fletched arrow through paper at 20 feet. The fletchings can mask that problem. For big spine issues...yes, you will see those shooting through paper at distance. But that's not as precise a tuning test as bareshaft tuning for identifying spine issues. Thanks for watching!
You want it further than a few feet. I've run into issues at shooting at 5ft with a bear shaft where it's a bullet hole. Go back to 20 yards and I'm hitting knock right. I'd suggest starting off close to get it 90% of the way there then move back to about 20 yards to fine tune.
Really stupid to describe the move as “away or towards”, the riser. Duh! Some of us shoot left handed! Move your rest in the direction of the tip: left tear, move your rest right.
PJ Riley, are You seriously trying - not making, trying - make paper test with that angle?? :D Let me tell you, if you are an archery shop expert, you should delete this recording ASAP. The paper test is performed ONLY at a 90 degree angle. I really can't believe what I'm seeing..
