Tuning question - low tear

[ShockValue]

I've been tinkering with my sight...Whisker Bisquit....trying to "fine tune" or what I thought would be fine tune. Well its the older style and trying to move it fractions at a time is difficult. Anyway...I screwed something up and have gone back to papertuning to figure out the problem.

I'm getting a low paper tear from 8 ft and 15 feet. The Easton tuning guide says to lower the nocking point. My question is can I just raise the rest (which is what I had been trying to do before) to accomplish the same result?

Muchos gracias in advance.

A low tear?

A low tear?

Yes low or bottom...whatever you want to call it.

if it is easier to raise the rest then to that, i keep my rest lined up with the berger hole(center shot hole in the window), but it is ok to be a little bit high.

i papertune from 6' then walk back tune mine. good luck

In most cases, a low tear indicates a low nock point which would mean that you would raise your nock point or lower your rest.
When you say that the tuning guide advises to lower the nock point or raise rest, that would indicate a high tear.
A low tear is when the vanes tear lower than the point, and a high tear is when the vanes tear above the point.
A low tear is less commn than a high tear and usally comes from a bow that requires a high nock point or an arrow that is too stiff.
Type of bow and arrow might help with diagnosis.

THIS ONE: and a high tear is when the vanes tear above the point.


Sorry for the confusion....I think I stated it wrong. It is the tear on the Easton Tuning Guide that indicates a HIGH nocking point. My question was, rather than going to the pro shop and re-tying the d-loop, can I just move the rest?

Equipment: Hoyt Vectrix @ 64 lbs. Easton Epic 400 cut 27.5 inches.

Thanks Rocky....

Yes you can raise the rest, but if your arrow is in line with the rest-mount hole, it would be better to lower your loop.
you should not have to go to a shop to have this done, as the loop should just screw down the serving.

Shock...you should actually take it to a pro...this is actually the early stages of a rare foriegn bow disease called "bowleosis"...if it gets too bad it may require amputation of a limb! Doctor Wes will be up here Sunday morning to look at a boat...he probably would not mind making a house call Rick
