Bareshaft tuning without an arrow saw

[@skysurferboy]

Try shooting at 20yds with a bareshaft. The first 10 yds can be very misleading even poorly matched arrows will fly straight at 10, the arrow really shows you what is going on from 10 to 20yds. You will really be surprised at how much feedback you get with those extra 10 yds. I now shoot through paper first at 5yds to see if the bareshaft make a bullet hole. When it does I move back to 20yds from the boss confident that I will have the tune pretty close and microtune from the results I see at 20. Then I'll shoot a fletched shafts through paper for a bullet hole just making sure that I am not getting any weird contact on the bow/shelf.

If your arrow is in paradox, how are you getting bullet holes at 5?

For an honest tune work on your release it’s static. You can slow down your draw @ anchor but keep increasing tension & pull thru the shot. Your hand is flying out keep your release hand tight along your face & try to figuratively touch your back shoulder. Look @ Jake Kaminsky , Rick McKinney they both teach great.

I reckon my tune is pretty honest. Thanks for the advice though, 🙏

@@hooversoutdoors Just being honest trying to help watch a good release.

Here is a question, let's say you stayed with the initial point weight, 225, how much would you say you would have to cut to get the same result as with lowering 50 gn? An inch?

[@hooversoutdoors]

Depends on your draw length, bow poundage, arrow spine, release ... too many variables to say for sure without just doing it.

@@hooversoutdoors ok i was thinking on the same conditions you were when you were doing that test. In that case, how much, with your experience, do you think you would've had to cut?

[@Cuisinenomade1]

@@hooversoutdoors i ask because i got some new arrows to flight straight, yet i could still take about 1 inch off of the shaft and I was wondering if adding 25 gn would count to cut about 1/4 to 1/2 inch more. So just asking around to see what other's experience says. Thanks

[@hooversoutdoors]

If you have a way to cut then you'll be able to do whatever you want. Cut them where you want length wise for your draw then add either insert weight or bigger broadheads you'll be able to make them tune out for sure.

Do you want a stiff arrow or not so stiff??? I’m shooting 250 spline out of my compound bow, with a 75gr insert and 125 grain bros head. Just now starting to try traditional shooting and dint know if I could shoot the same arrows or need to get something different. Thank you

[@hooversoutdoors]

I'm currently testing for a video where I'm tuning a 340 and 600 spine from my 40 lb bow. My best answer is , it depends. But I would say a 250 is going to be too stiff. Generally, not always, anything from a 400-600 spine tunes best depending on your draw weight and what weight you have on the front of your arrow.

[@TheShortsOutside]

@@hooversoutdoors I have some 340s from my old arrows I used to shoot. I have a old York recurve that’s 32# draw weight. My dad has had it for years. Just wanted to start trying shooting it see if I even like it. Anyway really like your videos thanks for sharing and helping us beginners.

[@hooversoutdoors]

At 32 you will most likely be too stiff. But like my grandpa always said, only one way to find out! Try it and see!

Use a tubing cutter sharp wheel and patients.

[@fahlvfaust677]

If using a tube cutter to cut a carbon arrow, if the shaft is.166 (4.2mm) inside diameter, I will insert a screwdriver into the shaft hole, which is 3mm in size, so that the cut will be flat and clean. Because the carbon arrow is very sensitive, if you use the tube cutter without inserting the screwdriver shaft, the carbon shaft is not flat, and the front part will expand, so if the arrow hits a hard object, it will break. Do not forget to insert a screwdriver according to the small or large diameter of the shaft before cutting the carbon
