Tuning the bow is something every archer wants to do when they purchase equipment. There should be a distinction between tuning and a proper initial set up.

When getting new equipment, you should ascertain what is a decent match between arrow and bow (arrow spine). Properly place the rest on the bow to match the arrow diameter. Acquire a string which allows a proper nock fit. Establish an initial brace height within the recommended range of the manufacturer.

Now go and shoot!

Tuning is the process of optimizing equipment to the shooter. Learn to shoot before attempting to tune. Why? If you are not making consistent shots, every shot may leave the string differently. This causes a vicious cycle of incorrect adjustments. The archer is always the biggest variable in the tuning process.

So…………..DO establish a good initial set up. DON’T worry about tuning until you become a consistent shooter.
