Who microtunes???

[DapperDan]

Just curious who here microtunes their bows as far as arrow tuning broad heads to field points, fetching to broad heads, increases front of center on arrows, getting arrow weight exact within a dozen arrows, etc etc etc... Just wanting to hear thoughts and opinions. I'm kinda OCD when it comes to that stuff with my hand loads and hunting rifles and picking up my new bow when the mods arrive for my short draw length. I'm having trouble finding anyone around the Houston area that gets in depth when it comes to tuning.

Only thing I have done is order heavier inserts to improve FOC. Zero to the BH hits my POA at 15 yds with top pin, 25 with #2, and 35 with #3.

Thanks for the input

I use modified French tuning which can be considered micro tuning if done several times over. I also bare shaft tune out to 30 yds and find adjustments for broadhead POI are virtually non-existent when done properly. I yoke tune when possible and I am a firm believer in building as much FOC as can be handled while still staying within required performance limits of correct dynamic spine reaction, speed and terminal ballistics.

And always I look at my bows @ full draw by way of a draw board. Toss a scale in line and check the draw force curve, let-off, peak and holding weight. Optimal cam starting rotation and sync when applicable should always be done prior to anything else, this keeps you from masking the real problem by making incorrect adjustment to other aspects of set-up and tuning.

Not unless it is absolutely necessary. I have done it on a ton of bows over the years but with my latest purchase, my new Obsession Def Con 6, thru paper it was a bullet hole (with Muddy built arrows) and my 125 grain Ramcats are dead on also. The owner at Ft Grard where i bought the bow is dang good at setting up a bow with rest timing snd cam timing. Never had to do a thing. FP's and BH's are both dead on.

Well it will be on a Mathews HTR. Have always loved solo cams mainly bc my messed up shoulders from my high school years in sports. Again, I'd love to be as precise with mine but I can't find anyone around the Houston area (bow shops) that are as diligent at tuning. I plan on shooting out to 60-80 yards or further for practice to make the 30-40 yards a chip shot.

There are some god shops. Problem there far in between. If your going to get hard into it. You need a press and a draw board with a scale. Then do research on tuning

Let's of good folks here to help as you go on your tuning venture.

Just remember just don't go over board. Some people have this problem. Not me, but some

Those bows have great nock travel OTB and set-up pretty easy. Rick at West Houston Archery is a solid bow tech, he can make sure your bow is where it needs to be and you can do the fine tuning to your liking. Be sure to ask for him by name, not all techs are created equal. Dude's from the Old Viking shop and is a throw back who does quality work.

This is where I was planning on taking the bow. They are the only shop I've found capable of setting the sight on all 3 axis.
