Bare Shaft Tuning
Bare Shaft Tuning
Redback Archery Supplies recommends bare shaft tuning for any setup shot with a finger release. In order to use this method you will need two fletched arrows and two bare shafts. Follow the illustrations below to fine tune your setup.
This diagram depicts optimal tuning for the bare shaft tuning method. Bare shafts and fletched arrows should have very similar impact points.
Stiff Arrow
- Possible Corrections:
- Use a longer shaft
- Use a lighter spined shaft
- Add weight to the insert using a weight system, or by adding a heavier weight point
Weak Arrow
- Possible Corrections:
- Cut shafts shorter 1/4″ at a time
- Use a stiffer spined arrow
- Decrease point weight
- Add weight to the rear of the shaft
Low Nock Point
- Possible Corrections:
- Move nock point up
- Move arrow rest down
High Nock Point
- Possible Corrections:
- Move nock point down
- Move arrow rest up
