How to tune a compound bow

[@pabloesquivel754]

Mr Sean,my name is Pablo and I live in North Alabama,I'm the only hunter in my family so I learned everything myself. Few weeks ago I decided to take the big step and switch from rifle to compound bow(never ever hold one in my hands before) so,as you can imagine,I was lost in another world. Luckily for me I came across your channel and within 5 min I hit that suscribe button. Mr Sean,your knowledge and experience is priceless,but the fact that you share this info for beginners like me is beyond anything else I could've found,I have follow every single recommendation and tip and my improvements are great. Im 31 years old and thanks to people like you I can keep growing as a hunter. Thank you sir!!

[@seansoutdoors]

Wow that's great! Thank you!

[@jthepickle7]

I've watched upward of 40 compound bow tuning videos over the last few weeks, trying shoot a bullet with my Hoyt. Sean, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. You, personally solved my problem by touching on every important aspect of bow tuning.

[@seansoutdoors]

Great, praise God! I’m glad to hear it. God bless you

[@Rizztaxski]

Hey there , brother Sean. I'm a disabled veteran and single father of two grade school sons. My wife passed away last year, leaving me stressed, emotionally broken and defeated. I turned my head back to Jesus and begged for healing. So far, so good. In order to start "living" again, I turned toward some old hobbies (boxing, art , running etc...) and some new ones. Archery had me in love from the first knock. Lol. Anyway , I watch all your videos and was really blessed to find them. I get to learn more about archery and from a fellow man of God! Thankyou.

[@seansoutdoors]

Judah, I'm sorry to hear of your situation. God be with you. Also, Jesus came from the line of Judah, so that's a good name. God bless you.

I have a 2012 bowtech invasion and everytime I change a string or need some tuning refreshers, I watch this video. Definitely the best overdrive cam tuning video out there

I bought a bow where the limbs, cable and the string were not attached at out of the box. I watched your video to assembled it. I has zero knowledge before and now I am the best in my town. God bless!

[@cynthiaowens92]

Awesome video on bow tuning I got a diamond bow had it setup at sportsman’s and got it home and couldn’t get a grouping better than 6 inches spread out I have had the bow for a year and finnally decided it must be me , I watched your video tuned it found out the measurement to string was an 8 th of an inch off even tho the bow itself showed it was identical on its markings I tightened the one side got them to match up and I have a one inch or better grouping now shooting bulls every time never would have made it happen without your video thank you !!!

[@seansoutdoors]

Amazing, that's great! God bless you

[@mooganoid]

Hi Sean, thank you so much for your very in-depth tuning guide! One trick I learnt was centering the rest with string-I discovered my arrow was way to the left. I did the task slightly different which doesn't require a cut arrow. I tied a string AROUND the bolts as a loop and pulled tight (as like a tank track around two wheels). This allowed the arrow to sit between the two strings and thus use a full arrow.

[@seansoutdoors]

Awesome! Glad it is helpful! God bless you!

[@PaleHorseRider]

Thank you for posting these videos. The Information you provide has been very helpful. I had always wanted to get into Archery hunting but I always seemed to have a lack of time, money or a place nearby to hunt. This December i started looking into different bows. I was looking for something $500-700. After all the reading i did I decided it was time to shoot some bows. I went Into it thinking I was probably going to get a Hoyt Powermax or a PSE, I Started out with the Bear Threat I knew right away i didn't like it. Tried a PSE Brute Force, it felt ok then I tried a PSE Bowmadness a little above my price range but I wanted to compare. Then the dealer took down a Diamond Deploy SB I think it's just a step up from the Edge SB1 you reviewed, and the Diamond version of Bowtech's Carbon Icon. That bow wasn't even on my radar, but I thought it was a dream to shoot. I also really liked the Powermax, it was a very close 2nd. I think it came down to the RAK package was $50 cheaper than what they were offering for a similar package that came on the Hoyt. So I went with he Diamond. It was working really well for a while but whoever installed the bow accessories did a pretty poor job and soon both my rest and sight came loose from the vibration of being shot for only a few weeks. After i put them back together it didn't seem quite right. It was only after discovering your videos that i was able to determine that my rest was no longer aligned correctly. Now it's back to shooting as good as new! So thank you, I will make sure to mention your videos to all my friends.

[@oldasdirt1446]

I just bought my first compound bow and your lessons have been very helpful. Checking my bow setup out-of- the-box and found rest and sight way off. Looking for one of your lessons that shows how to determine the vertical location of the peep sight. I think I know the answer but not sure.

[@seansoutdoors]

You have to determine your anchor point. Once you do that you simply place the peep where it lines up with your eye for aiming. It will be different for everyone.

[@brk49er]

[@dcyamahatech]

seansoutdoor thank you very much....i must admit i love the br33 but i feel bear could do a little better with string quality on a flagship bow..no matter how i twisted the string my peep would not align at full draw. .so i just installed a 3 post peep..the strand count was only 19..i figured itd have more strands

[@TheAllankuz]

Solid video - especially for someone who just took the plunge and purchased his own press / drawboard Realized my lower draw stop was hitting a good 1/8" before my top - which I fixed, but now getting a slight lower left tear - just like you had. Hopefully I'll solve that this weekend. I cringed a bit on the drawboard section - didn't see a safety cord attached to the bowstring - hook, just in case that d-loop breaks. Thanks Again - Allan

[@TheAllankuz]

+seansoutdoor Thanks! I'm watching my form, actually what got me into looking to tune my own equipment -- couldn't remove a horrible low tear and bow was not reacting to any minor change in nock or rest position Finding that the draw stops were off was actually a relief and did reduce the tear down from over a + 2" tear to about a 1/4"- 3/8" low tear. Your thoughts on the d-loop are so true - speak from your experience, I punch myself in the nose during practice this spring due to a broken d-loop - hence my "mistrust" in the d-loop. Keep up the good work and Take Care!

[@TheAllankuz]

***** I imagine, it’s a good idea to check that d-loop out at the beginning of each season and replace if you see anything suspect! I’ve been shooting more, starting this past February, than last year and probably should have done a quick d-loop check after spring gobbler season! My press / drawboard came with a secondary safety device, but I also tied a basic loop with d-loop material and just loop it around the string & the hook to provide me a sense of added “triple” security. My nock point “might” have to be a tad higher than 1/8” (Bowtech Experience @ 64 lbs with a QAD HD rest and Easton Axis 340 arrows / 100 grain VPA 3-blades ~ 424 grains of total arrow weight), I have a 28.5” draw. Don’t really know how level or high the nock point is now, since I don’t have a tool to measure it --- just eyeball. I have a dedicated day this weekend to figure this out. I’m thinking of double checking arrow is running through center of berger holes, arrow is centered (using your limb bolt-string idea, I have a busted arrow I can saw off - thanks for the excellent idea), and shoot through paper. I’ll have my press at the range, so may also shoot bare shaft, fletched, and broadhead - just to confirm the paper results. I’ve immersed myself into the how the binary cam system / “yokes” work, (but also realize the Internet is full of good and bad info), invested resources into a press, and eager to learn how to tune my current set-up with hopes of successfully changing out strings / cables after this season. Thanks Again - great stuff!

[@TheAllankuz]

***** Thanks, shooting a axis 340 now, which according to Easton would be good up to 72 lbs, but I agree those binary cams are very radical, I'll keep arrow spine in mind!

[@TheAllankuz]

+seansoutdoor just got back from range, last night I shot very well through paper with 340, 300, and bare shaft. This morning I shot broadheads and FP's from both arrows, the 300's shot better - ruined a FP due to it hitting the broadhead. The 300 spine arrow tipped with broadhead was supplying much better grouping from 20 - 40 yards! Thanks for the suggestion - would have never thought of it - looks like I'll be shooting the 300's this year!

The bow was spose to be in a ready to hunt package but the d loop and peep are off to the side, the d loop was set way to high and to far apart for the nock, was not paper tuned and the cams are untimed by about 1/4".

Took it completely down for major scrubbing and started anew with sights, settings, tunings, etc... I really enjoy the bow and its cool adjustment features and size. An excellent hunting bow, IMO. Thanks for showing the slick ways you check center, etc. "Simplicity rules". Wondering where you got your draw weight digital scale? My old Buckmaster spring type just doesnt cut it any more.

[@rudolphferdinand3634]

What bow tuning information do you have available about tuning a BowTech Guardian (2007). This bow is set up differently than any other bows I have where there isn't yoke to twist or untwist. How would you tune this type of bow? Also, I have your book, "Becoming a World-Class Hunter."

[@seansoutdoors]

I don't have a video on that, but I just looked it up and it looks like it has a binary cam type system. to make sure the cams are in time you will typically need to adjust one of the cables by adding or removing a little twist. Aside from that you move the arrow rest (or nock point) to correct vertical and horizontal issues with arrow flight.

[@rudolphferdinand3634]

Thank you for the quick reply! I'm trying to field points and fix blades head to hit near to each other; the fields points are together but the fix blade head is about 7 inches from them upper right about four inches from twenty-five yards, my bow is set @ 61 pounds 29.5 " DL, arrows are GoldTips 75/95 cut to 29".

[@seansoutdoors]

You need to broad head tune your bow then. Typically, you move your rest - in your case, move it left. This will change where your broadheads and your field points hit the target. Eventually they will hit the same point. After you get it to that point you then move your sight to compensate for the change. Oh, and once you get the right to left error corrected, you can move the rest up or down as needed to get them to hit the same area. If your rest can't go any lower and you need it lower, then move the nock point up. God bless you

[@benjaminallison9038]

Sean, as I go through the process of paper tuning, I started with my arrow level (perpendicular to the riser). when I began, I got a pretty severe point-low-nock-high tear. I have adjusted my rest as high as it will go, and I am still getting a slight point-low-nock-high tear. when I look at the bow from the side with an arrow nocked, the arrow is visible angled upward. any ideas on what might be causing this? I am shooting a single-cam, single-yoke bow.

[@seansoutdoors]

Check to see if your arrow has the proper spine for the bow you are shooting. That could be your problem.

[@johnblakeparker]

your supposed to set the nocking point "dead level" on a Bowtech bow with Binary Cams as suggested by Bowtech...because they have perfect nock travel... but single cams & hybrid cams u set the nocking position 1/8th inch high or so... very very good detailed video though. we have the exact same bow Insanity CPXL with the same Limb Driver Pro V rest... I am curious as to what their flagship bow will be when its revealed on January 6th at the ATA Show.

[@johnblakeparker]

***** thats first of I'd heard of that... mine tunes perfect at dead level at 29.5" draw.... those are really good bows... I suggest that everybody upgrades from the factory string stop though to a Muddy Bloodsport ZVT.... install Octane Balance Dampeners to the riser where its tapped at top and bottom.. and install a 2nd FLX Guard Dampener on the FLX Guard.... all of that makes a big difference in bow noise... and even cut what little vibration it did have to near zero.... you ever chronographed yours with a 350 grain arrow.. and on 70 lbs ???

Hey Sean I have a 1 yolk bow with a whisker biscuit that only moved left to right I think how would you tune that? Move nock point ? Left to right is dead on but I'm getting low tear

[@seansoutdoors]

sometimes you have to loosen one limb a little more than the other

[@timdrema]

I'm a finger shooter, (can't stand releases), Have an older 2 cam bow (Martin, Ultra Z cams), I had a problem grooping my shots until I was told, finger shooters should back the bottom limb off an extra 1/2 turn. Worked great until I replaced the string. My question is should I lengthen the cable so the cams turn over at the same time? or is that why I backed off the on the limb in the first place?

[@Njjb122]

Hey sean when it comes to yolk tuning i get mixed feedback some people say whatever twists you add to 1 side you need to take out of the other...one bow i shoot is a bowtech realm x and to get it to tune i needed to add a ton of twists to the right side even shooting through a hooter shooter if i went 1 for 1 the left side would of twisted in the opposite directions it started ..bowtech says thats extremely common on the realms some say bowtech in general just wanted to hear your take on the matter

[@seansoutdoors]

No I don't add AND remove. I either add or remove. Seems to work for me.

Hi I'm using your video to tune my bow and so far it been very helpfull but I do the center shot and I line up my arrow rest and my sight and I shoot but I end up moving my sight to the right to be consistent.is that ok to move or I'm I doing something wrong.thank you and god bless

[@seansoutdoors]

That’s pretty normal. It’s how you are torquing the bow

[@sihunter2920]

Thank you for the quick respond it shoting 80 yards and I get good groups and I was just making sure I was doing it correct...your videos really helped me out.thank you and god bless.

[@ralphfrench2924]

Sean thanks so much for all you do for us archers,you have shared so many insightful tips.my question is on paper tuning,is center shot more important than getting a bullet hole in paper,for me I’m shooting a 1/2 in right 1/2 in high on entry ,so tear is low left,when I move rest to get bullet hole ,center shot is off . Thank you

[@seansoutdoors]

If you are getting a bullet hole through paper, and your arrows are hitting off from where you aim, then you just need to move your sight so that your arrows hit where you aim. If you are measuring everything for center shot and then shoot and your arrows are not hitting a bullet hole, then you can move the rest on many bows to get the bullet hole. However, there are some bows where they intend for you to manipulate cam lean to adjust for left or right tears, so it depends on the brand of bow. In general though, you can just move the rest to compensate until you get a bullet hole. If you do all that and still can't get a bullet hole, then there is a chance you are torquing the bow which is throwing off your arrow flight.

[@renatugaming5730]

14:27 if you're shooting at an angle, make sure that your third axis is correct (3rd axis is how the housing is level to your sight bar/mount) if it is off, what will happen is your sight will be angled, so you have to "False cant" the bow in order to get it level, you then need to move your pins, this causes your shot to continually go off left or right.

[@seansoutdoors]

[@jthepickle7]

Could you tell me, please, how do you know if you've got enough twists in your cables/string? I put in 3 twists on all 3, to shorten my draw length. This improved, slightly, an 'up tear' through paper.

[@seansoutdoors]

Measure the axle to axle length to see if it is at the specified length it should be per the manufacturer. If it’s still long then add more twist. If it’s shorter then you’ve gone too far. Your nock point may also have changed or your cam timing may have changed resulting in a higher tear.

[@jthepickle7]

@@seansoutdoors Thaks. I've been up all night doing just that. Been at this since October! I think I'm zeroing in on it. I really appreciate you getting back to me, now I know, thanks to you, that I'm on the right track.

[@jthepickle7]

@@seansoutdoors Sory to keep bugging you. I just learned today that all spec measurements are made with the limb bolts screwed all the way in - Duh! My question now is; which cables do what? I'm pretty sure the control cable sets cam timing and the yoke cable sets brace height. The main string sets draw length. How am I doing?

Bowtech Insanity CPXL - 2 Questions Awesome work by the way, thank you as everyone else has said - I can’t wait to tune this myself after having it to two “Pro Shops” who took a hack at it unsuccessfully. Q1: On my insanity the cams are definitely not centered Left/Right in between the split limbs, the cams definitely sit toward the left side of that space. Therefore, should the initial manual alignment of my rest also reflect that slight offset from center, or should it still be right at center (when measuring with the cut arrow method)? Q2: You mention the tiller length should match top and bottom. To make that happen on my bow results in the top set of limbs being tightened down a little more than the lower set of limbs (on the draw weight). Is the tiller length still the priority? Meaning is it more important than having equal spacing between the draw weight adjustment bolts gap (between the limbs and the frame)? Thanks in advance!

[@seansoutdoors]

I would remove all cam lean, center the rest and then add cam lean in the fine tuning process. As for tiller and timing, there are many things that could be contributing such as string or cable length stretched and need to be shortened. When in doubt take them off and measure them to be sure they are at the factory recommended length. Then make sure the limb bolts are tightened all the way down. Check draw stop timing and tiller. If the cable length is accurate, axle to axle length accurate, and you still need to take a little extra turn out of a limb bolt for everything to be dead on, then there is a chance there is a slight variance from the machining of the bow. If you are still able to get good paper tears with one limb backed out a little more than the other then you are fine. However, if one set of limbs are set weaker than the others because you loosened that limb bolt a little extra, then you might have vertical tear issues through paper.

[@np8893]

Sean, your reply gave me the ground work to look in a last few places for some fine details of paper tuning. I also bought six .003 arrows that are spined a little lighter and established a 14.6% FOC. I finally have those elusive bullet holes I’ve been searching for for 5 years since I’ve owned the bow. Thanks for everything you do for us out of your passion and drive. God bless you and your fam.

[@JC-gg3zc]

I have the dimond deploy sb. It's a binary cam, the cams are not on centred on the limbs. Should I still line the arrow up to the center line of the bow?

[@seansoutdoors]

No, just measure off of the riser in front of and in back of the rest and make sure it is the same distance.

[@iangarnerlerose]

At 8:00 mins into the video you begin to level your arrow rest. I can see you have your bow secured somehow at the top... Can you tell me how you have secured it? Homemade clamp? Thank you.

[@falconsirrus]

Question for anyone, my PSE compound was centre shot setup from the shop, I've only ever adjusting the sight in order to move my group into the gold, but when I look down the arrow and sting the sight/pin is to the right by maybe half inch??. I hit bulls eye (some times,lol) should it be ALL straight down the line(centre) or is that a starting point and the sight is meant to move to fine tune aim?

[@seansoutdoors]

It all depends on how much you torque the bow while aiming. Mine is a little to the side too.

[@nitrosomniak]

[@nosweat3735]

I'm new to archery and extremely OCD and something about the center shot method was bothering me and was hoping someone could help me out. My cams are offset to the left on my limbs and if my rest is centered with the grip, limbolts or riser my arrow is shooting across my bow a couple degrees. Is this a problem? Should I move the rest to compensate for the offset so my arrows shoots parallel with the stabalizer? Any help would be appreciated.

[@seansoutdoors]

When the cams are offset, I typically measure the distance off of the riser in the front and in the back and match it to the center of the arrow shaft.

If the second bow is the same brand and model as the Hoyt you mentioned then yes but if not then no. All bows are made differently so the parts are not interchangable.

Your tips are great. I'm working to tune my son's Bear Apprentice. You mentioned adding a twist to each yoke based upon paper tuning results. His paper results show the point with the fletchings to the lower right of the point. Which way do you twist the right yoke? I would assume clockwise looking down on the yoke to be tuned. Correct?

Sweet video! Does it apply for Lefty Archers? I have just bought a PSE and find it shoots a golfball size target at 10 metres but at 20 they are more like covering a basketball size target. I don't think I would have even had 100 arrows through it yet.

Yes. If your arrows are all over the place then it is shooter error. If they tend to be hitting in the same area it’s the bow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH6lfWVnaJWZa80

Is it common practice for the guy at shop that you buy your bow from and he sets everything up to not paper tune it before you buy it? I would think with the price on bows and all the extras it comes with that it would come flawless but maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, there are a lot of shops that don’t paper tune.

Hi all, quick question please,I have my RX4 turbo perfectly level,sting 100% vertical and the arrow leveled accordingly but,when paper tuning,I have a slight low tear,arrow impact is exactly 5mm higher.What should I do now? 300 spine-30 inches length arrow, 70# bow,cam stops are touching both even though upper one is under more tension its slightly bending the control cable while bottom one is just touching.Thanks in advance

[@seansoutdoors]

Adjust your timing so they are coming in contact with the string at the exact same time. You may need to reset your nock point after that. If vertical tear is still off then you can try moving the rest a 32nd to a 16th of an inch.

Hi Sean, I have the same bowtech and it tuned perfect using my bow press. Do you have any suggestions for Dartons. My DS 3900 shoots pretty good but my DS2800 at the shot there is noticeable fishtailing at the shot. Both cams are synced but no matter how much I move my rest from center shot I can't get the right tear out Any suggestions are welcomed. Both Dartons use the dual sync cams. Thanks in advance.

[@seansoutdoors]

I've never seen either of those Martin Bows, but it sounds like you may need to either shim the cams in order to get the arrow flight you are looking for.

[@ACantu-bl4sw]

Thank you for responding so fast but they are Darton bows not Martin.

[@seansoutdoors]

I just looked them up to see what they look like. By the look of that cable system, you will need to shim the cams to get better arrow flight if moving the rest doesn't solve it.

Hey Sean, I have an older compound bow (like from the 80s?) and I am noticing a little bit of cam lean. Is there a way to help that without any yoke system? If not, what problems will this cause when shooting? Thanks!

[@seansoutdoors]

The only thing that can be done is to get different sized shims if there is space between the cam and the limb that can be altered. However, with that type of bow, you basically just tune it by moving the rest like in the walk back tuning I talk about.
