Now that we have accom-
plished all Initial Bow Setup
procedures, we can proceed to
Basic Bow Tuning. Making final
tuning adjustments to the bow
will enable us to further improve
arrow flight and accuracy.
Firmly attach a sheet of paper
to a stiff frame approximately
24”x24” (an old picture frame
works well). Position the center
of the frame about shoulder
height and around six feet from
the safe target. Stand 6 to 10
feet in front of the paper and
frame. Shoot a fletched arrow
through the center of the paper at
shoulder height and observe how
the paper is torn.
Most often, a tea will initially
result which is a combination of
both horizontal and vertical indi-
cations. Adjust the vertical (nock-
ing point) part first. Then work on
the horizontal. It should be noted
that a perfect hole is not always
possible for all shooters and all
setups. Neither is it always advis-
able. Many top shooters find that
a slightly high-left tear (or RH
shooter, high-right tear for left
hand) provides optimum accura-
cy. Paper tuning is a method for
allowing each shooter to discover
what works best for them with a
particular bow setup.
