[@jennifercolbert6581]

Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine kzbin.infoUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

[@basaltblackwaterexcavation3918]

Oh man thank you Dan! Iv ben shooting for 4 years and I'm self taught or maybe KZbin certified would be a better term. I'm now a pretty strong shooter but this simple to the point instruction is so key and really puts things together for me and other folks who are new or have ben at it awhile.

[@mulvey0731]

Dan, I really enjoyed video that you did on Broadhead tuning. Recently, while I was hunting, i noticed that my pin was a little to the left of my arrow and my string at rest. I thought I had seen this all in one before, so I made an adjustment when I got back to the camp. And got it in line. I did shoot it add a short yardage because it was dark and I couldn’t see much past the light from the cabin. It shot well and so I thought that’s how it should be. But watching you turn this broad head and show that the pen should be a little to the left, really came home to me as yesterday I hit a deer Left of where my thought on and was not able to recover the Eno. It was a very doable shot, and I should have made a double one yet, but instead, I hit shoulder and was not able to recover Leanna. I wish I had seen your video sooner, because in moving my pin to the right, I move my point of that impact to the left and what I thought was a chip shot. Ended up being a nightmare for me. Thank you for this great video and I hope others are paying close attention to what you’re presenting.

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

I am really sorry to hear that, bowhunting can cause mind games for sure. Yeah the pin will always be out of plane to the left of your arrow in the resting position on a right handed bow. This reflects how much torque your bow has that is caused by the cable guard. -Dan

[@wcwcgarner2717]

Paper tuning is very important you do not want the arrow hitting what your shooting at sideways. You need perfect arrow flight to shoot fixed blade broadheads. Thank you for the video

[@jonathansmith7113]

But when you go to broadhead tune you essentially take your bow out of paper tune. Paper tune only gets you close.

[@garaldfillmore5026]

Great vid Dan! A lot of people that can’t get a big fixed head to fly great always think it’s the broadhead, when in reality it’s either their bow isn’t tuned, their arrow has problems (not spined correctly, or arrow components aren’t square) or there is a problem with their form. Most times it has nothing to do with the head.

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

[@glee181]

I find it helps to visualize what is happening (nock left/right). For those new to this issue, I hold one index finger up a few inches in front of my nose (the "string") then with the other hand, form a "V" with my index/middle fingers (the "rest") and hold that out a few inches beyond my single finger. Now, I can visualize where the rest aligns with respect to the string. His description of nock-left, and the adjustment of the rest to correct it, now makes sense.

[@YoutubeMastersDegree]

Good example. How I think of it is like having fletchings on the front of the arrow and the direction the front is pointing will steer the arrow unless the rear fletching is much larger overpowering the front fletching. Hence why very large fletching and or a small folding broadhead are sometimes used to put a bandaid on a poorly tuned bow.

[@andreimarius9695]

This is truly a great way on adjusting the rest , didn't know this. Thanks for your video !!

[@timbow50]

Been shooting compounds for well over 25 years. Just started using paper tuning about 5 years ago AS A BASE LINE BEGINNING!!! Generally you or someone withyou can see bad arrow flight. The main thing is setting everything straight through the centerline of the bow to start with. If you can video arrow flight that's a good place to start or have someone using binoculars watch the flight. Erratic flight can usually be seen through binoculars. Great video here. Just a simple set up getting it done

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Thanks once again for another interesting and informative video on a great topic. I admittedly struggle with getting my fixed blade broadheads to fly or hit close to my field points. But that was my fault I switched to a heavier arrow (11.25 gpi at 29 inch draw and 45 grain insert and 100 grain cut on contact broadheads, would have tried 125 or 150 but online and local retailers were out or don't carry) too late in the preseason and only shot those and no field points since that's what I was hunting with. 20 yards was "fine" but 30 was all over the place and I didn't even sight for 40 and 50. Whitetail woods usually doesn't offer shots more than 35 anyway. I am working on getting my old 2006 PSE ready for spring turkey. Not sure if I should switch to a wide cut mechanical for turkey then back to fixed for deer or just stick with the fixed all the way through

[@trevorteague8430]

Great, and right to the point video! Can you possibly make one about choosing the correct spine, and what will affect the spine, such as different weight tips and inserts? I'm running a PSE Dream Season EVO, 29" at 70#. My arrows are 29-1/2" 300 spine Gold Tips with 100 brass inserts and 100gr tips. It's total weight is 505gr at 285fps, and 16.5% FOC. Should be more than enough for anything I want to hunt... just need to get it squared away for fixed blade broadheads.

When you are setting center shot you use the limb bolts. I been doing some thinking and since the arrow comes off the string I took a straight edge and come off the cam splitting the difference in the string and see where it lands in the limb pocket on both ends then on that mark I tape a piece of sewing thread. I have a damaged arrow I cut off short I nock it and adjust rest until the thread spits the arrow shaft perfectly into

[@zackeryeckenrod6549]

[@josephfolsom2030]

Excellent video. I especially like the parts about looking downward from the top of the bow and aligning (eyeballing) the arrow with the centerline. I don’t know why I have never done that. The other part you explained extremely well is what to do with nock high, low, left, and right.

[@rkayser89]

That's it folks, pack it up- this is the bowhunter's bow setup video that everybody needs. I landed on this method after years of ignorance and abject failure (eyeballing arrows for berger hole & cam center, then move sight, then BH tune). I regret ever listening to the "pro shop" that told me to just move my sights for broadheads- that is the absolute worst thing possible, and that shop probably set me back several years of learning. If BH and field points don't hit the same, then the arrow isn't flying straight, and your broadhead won't go into the animal like it should- hard to drive the arrow in when it's hitting sideways. That being said, this all assumes you're using a properly spined arrow. Changing weight up front dramatically effects dynamic spine, and things can get really weird if you're underspined. And you always have to have a solid, neutral grip on the bow.

[@jeffspencer7489]

What do you do if you have to adjust the rest beyond center shot specs? That is why you paper tune first. You may need to move top hats before going through this.

[@danielplantz2957]

All the experts seem to be 50/50 on whether to chase broadhead or chase field tips when broadhead tuning. I swear I've had both work and not work at different times. The latest that worked for me, on advice of an expert, was chasing the broadhead for right and left, but chasing the field tip for up and down. Is it a matter of the bow? A matter of arrow spine that leans toward weak vs toward stiff? Drop away vs. whisker biscuit? I'm not sure anybody knows. The flight of the arrow truly is mystical 😆

Haha great comment and so true. I believe it's a matter of arrow spine though. If you don't have the correct spine arrow, this method won't work. -Dan

Hey Dan, very simply and clear presentation, thanks so much! Two questions: 1) Walk Back tuning - my arrows trend farther left as I walk back with the 20yd pin so I shifted the rest to the right. Arrows are now hitting vertical and various distances. However, now to move to broadhead tuning I'll need to shift the rest again as per instructions in this video. Are you concerned you'll then revisit the lateral shift with farther distances again? How do you ensure field tip/broadhead tuning at 20yds produces consistent results again out at 40 and 60yd? 2) Left hand grip on bow - do you try to find a position on grip when palm makes contact so as to ensure no riser torque? Like maybe the corner of grip facing palm? Or instead try to put palm on flat backside of grip to get a consistent flat push plane for hand and simple adjust sight to account for whatever result that torque is having on accuracy? I'm struggling to choose a grip placement that is both consistent for the hand and also produce consistently accurate results. Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

I’m definitely not an expert but I think that might mean you are not level. I think you need to make sure your sight is level in 3 dimensions.

Mate this was a great video. Explained everything for ease of understanding. Thanks for providing this!

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

Glad you like it!

[@calebgauthier1280]

Now I can properly tune thanks for the explaining my guy

[@corycoaxen3491]

I learned so much, thank you 🙏

[@TylerTurco]

I like the idea of skipping the paper tuning and going straight to broadheads! Keep it simple!

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

Yep, work smarter not harder in this case! Thanks for your comment. Where you are bow hunting this fall?

[@TylerTurco]

[@andrewplyler2716]

Would love a breakdown of your arrow setup. How much do your broad heads weigh?

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

I usually am in the 450 gr total arrow weight range. I will do my arrow break down setup video this spring. -Dan

[@portapottyflipper6957]

Nice simplified explanation 👍

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

Glad this was helpful! Are you bow hunting this fall?

[@wilallen8313]

Will be buying a V3 soon I’ll definitely be watching this video again!

[@vincentdelbono5082]

Hi,first thank you for the video, the question is when you sight in at 20 yards will be good for any distance? Or you have to tune in for every distance? Thank you.

[@timothyfrancisco7208]

Great video. Easy to understand and implement. I shoot left handed though so is there a difference in direction?

[@kennylainhart7148]

Explained well, this really works everyone!!

[@thoringuidry]

great video. Cleared up a lot of questions/concerns I had. Appreciated the demonstration!

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

Thanks for your feedback 👍 glad we could help

[@manowild]

Thank you my man. That was well received!

[@desesrtdude]

Dan great video. Did I hear you say that for hunting purposes paper tuning isn’t really as necessary vs the way you just did the broad-head tune?? Great instruction

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

Yes, on most bows you can set your center shot then go right to bare shaft tuning. I never paper tune anymore. But thats just me. -Dan

[@woodardcsw]

You make it simple and easy !

[@brandonkoonce5910]

Great walk through! straight to the point, and not too much talking to get confused with. Cheers to the DAY SIX HD's YASSSSSS!!!

[@bobswan3535]

Thank you so much this is extremely helpful

[@dpher1]

Great video. I just need to know... do I need to get all my arrows to be the same and shoot the same first? As I've seen videos saying you need to tune the shafts etc, and how do I do that if the bow isn't tuned yet? Thanks.

[@EastmansHuntingJournals]

Yeah arrows need to be identical. I would tune your bow first with said arrows then shoot all your arrows and then retune. -Dqn

[@micahr1262]

[@charliehaydt2706]
