Compound bow setup guide


















Shoot Over : The index fletch is up. Again, this should be done when the arrow is nocked on the string. This will allow for fletch clearance as the arrow flies through the rest. I would make your mark on the inner part of each arm when it exits the riser. Be careful measuring to determine the central point of the arm. Next, identify the area on your tape with a pen where the central point of the arm should be.

Your next step will be to measure the limbs to determine their centers. Measure the tops and bottoms of each corresponding limb. Determine the differential between the central point of the arm and the central point of your bow string. Mark the differential. I like to stand my bow up and support it with a long stabilizer.

I will set the bow in a vertical direction so my arrow is connected to my bow string and arrow rest. Station yourself in line with the arrow and line up the string with the even arm centered marks. The shaft part and point part must line up. Your rest and arrow should line up to the string. Once you center it to the string; the rest is now properly fitted with the bow string. Next, put the nocking points so they are even to the rest or slightly above the square.

Always use top and bottom nocking points for the above procedure. Make sure the nock snaps into proper place on the string. This is critical for compound bows because the fit could affect the sighting. My compound bow has a guard for the cable. These are adjustable so make sure the arrow has good clearance as it flies forward. Position the guard so there not too much pressure on the cables.

These cable guards are fitted either on the lower half of the riser or more commonly on the upper half of the riser. This riser placement is found on compound bows. Some compound bows com with draw lengths that can only be adjusted with different sized cams. This will be pricey. Fold the string in the middle. Taking pressure from the string to accomplish the above step.

You may able to skip the bow press step. Pull the bow to the anchor point. Moving the peep either upward or downward. Move it so everything is aligned within the sight. Attach the bow peep to the string by securing knots on both sides of the peep. Never secure the string around the center of the peep. If you do this alterations cannot be made.

Check Price. If the bow sight bubble is now level, then your second axis on the sight is good. If not, check the manual that came with your sight. It will tell you where to find the first, second, and third axis adjustments. For the third axis, imagine that the pins are on a door hinge—they can swing toward or away from the shooter. Ensuring the right peep height is as important as tying a good knot. The fastest way to find the correct height is to draw the bow with your eyes closed, find your anchor point, then open your eyes.

Have a friend mark the string at eye level and start there. Shoot the bow for a bit and adjust it up and down till it feels right. Arrow manufacturers list arrows by spine, or the stiffness of the shaft. Slower bows impart less flex on an arrow, so they need less rigidity, or spine, to fly true. Faster bows need a stiffer spine. Arrow manufactures all have calculators on their website to determine the correct spine. Wherever you land, make sure to weigh and spin-test all your arrows.

Toss out any that spin erratically or deviate by more than 10 grains. Number each arrow with a pen on the fletching. That way if you have an inconsistent flyer you can easily identify it, and not take it into the woods.

You bow and arrows are built. The most important thing is to get a consistent release with each test arrow. Seriously, Have a huge stack of pins. If your one pin slider still does not cost you any animal, either you chase very collaborative animals, or you have not used it for a very long time. Most arrow manufacturers sell hunting shafts with smaller diameters. They penetrate deeper and also drift less at the wind.

In most small diameter shafts, archery inserts and outserts could be used to enable the use of regular 8 — 32 string broadheads if that is a persistent problem for you. A mere D-Loop can initiate problems with tuning and precision, but it happens most often as your arrow drop off the remainder when you achieve a maximum draw. Besides, when it is time to repair your D-loop, the above and below ties will help you to attach the new one in the very same position without compromising your target and adjustment point.

Otherwise, slight modifications can go unseen and eventually decrease accuracy. You might use a silver Marker pen to draw a pattern to the cams on either section of the limb while using a limb as an edge. When the string or transit cable is extended, the markers will shift close to the limb, helping you to locate the issue.

Generally, broadhead-tipped arrows make their best performance under fps. Typically, you should focus on maintaining your bows within the fps limit. That speed offers a powerful balance between a moderately smooth trajectory and exceptional broadhead precision.

If your bow is balanced exceptionally well, your shape is outstanding, and you use a reasonably small or low-profile adjustable broadhead, you can get away with it. That correlates with the speed limits, but shooting a heavy arrow has other benefits. Heavy arrows have greater penetration than lightweight arrows.

With heavy arrows, your bow should be smoother and more accurate. Heavier arrows bounce less in the wind. Shooting a heavier arrow is better for your bow and all the parts of it because it eliminates vibration.

The issue of forwarding center balance FOC is a fairly popular subject these days. It is represented as a percentage of just how far forward the equilibrium point of the central axis of the shaft is.

FOC affects different parameters such as point mass, broadhead thickness, shaft length, vanes, and arrow wrapping. Over the years, many tests have been done with several different configurations and the optimal hunting setups have around grains of overall point weight.

The grip is the main place where you hold the bow directly while taking a shot. Manufacturing companies produce leather, rubber, and plastic grips that make the bow somewhat more convenient to carry and hold. Nevertheless, these grips can cause additional pressure in the shot since they apply a width to the bow riser.
