How to Super Tune a Mathews Vertix (Or any other bow)

Welcome back to another Tech Tip Tuesday! Today we're going to be diving into all the steps it takes to take a brand new bow out of the box, get it set up, and super tune it. The end result is a bow that will shoot any broadhead (fixed, mechanical, flintstone!) to the same point of impact.
This is a high-level overview, but if there are any other details that you want to have, make sure to leave a comment below and I'll be happy to explain how I do each step!
Make sure to check out our buddies at Mathews Archery for the best bows in the business: www.mathewsinc...
What good would a bow be without a sight so bright you can see it at any time of day? And what good would a bright sight be without being as tough as a $2 steak from Dennys??!! HHA Sports does all that and more for us - Check them out here: www.hhasports....
Stop sitting on the front of the tree. Add some angle to your dangle and get as comfortable as you never thought possible in the tree. Hunt from a saddle!! Check out our buddies at Tethrd: tethrdnation.com/
Don't get spotted in the tree, and make sure your gear is more ready than you are. First Lite is the only way to go - check out all of their gear here: www.firstlite.com

This is the correct way to do it! A lot of guys just move the rest until they get a perfect bullethole at 5ft with a fletched arrow and call it good! My local shop even did this when I bought my bow. I had to show the tech the correct way to do it. Needless to say I now do all my own tuning. Bareshaft, walkback! Great video! I’m happy to see it done correctly for once! So much bad information on KZbin!

[@HuntUrban]

Thanks! Yes, it's scary what's out there for "information", and even scarier what some "bow techs" will do to your bow in a shop! I figured out a long time ago that I was better off learning how to tune a bow myself and just went to town on learning. There are few better feelings in life than knowing your bow is 100% dialed!!

[@austingannon24]

I've always thought this. I want to be a self reliant bowhunter anyways. there is enough information and videos out there nowadays to feel confident in being able to set everything up yourself. looks like I'll be buying a press in the near future. are those factory strings or customs? @@HuntUrban

Good advice your bow looks sweet . Just upgraded from hoyt powermax and bought a mathews vertix. My first bow I ever bought at 16 years old. Got all flow green cables and strings. The snow needs to melt so I can test her range. My powermax shot good up to 90 so I'm looking forward to see how far i can get my vertix.

[@HuntUrban]

LSU GOLFER - yup, I very rarely shoot over 20 yards, just because of how tight my properties are. I’ve found black eagle arrows to be amazingly straight and their tolerances are the best I’ve found. I like to use a heavy arrow with high FOC and a mechanical broadhead. My current arrow is around 525 grains and has a 19% FOC. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other specific questions- happy to help!

I’ve just bought a vertix from my local dealer,we were paper tuning bare shaft and were getting about a 3/4 inch tear know low.We dropped the rest to the point where it was way to low.The only way we could get it to a bullet Hope was back out the bottom limb 1 1/2 turns.What would your thoughts be on this or maybe another solution.

I have a southland archery destroyer that is a couple or three years old and am planning on replacing the string and cables on it but I can't find any documentation online about initial timing marks on the cams for a starting point. Another big question I have is about ATA and brace height, I've heard some professionals say that it's not really important to check these as it is on cam timing and such. I know when I got the destroyer new, the ATA was off by about 5/8" and brace height was about 1/2" off from specs listed on their website about what the bow was supposed to be. Long in both cases. I'm new to doing my own tuning but not new to shooting archery. Not sure exactly what I should be adjusting if I install new string and cables and ATA and brace height are still off like they were when the bow was new. Any insight would be greatly appreciated thanks!

[@chrisklauder9979]

How do you like shooting the vertix at 31” dl? How steep are the strings, how many anchor points do you get? Does your nose touch the string? You should do a shooting review of the bow

[@HuntUrban]

chris klauder - happy to do a video on shooting it at a long DL. I’m shooting the bow in the 30.5” module, but Mathews tend to run a little longer. This bow is right at 30.95” actual draw. String angle is great, and there isn’t any nick pinch. With the size of the cams, it really feels like a 33-34” ATA bow.

I just finished some 23 style target shafts that I was going 2 put 125 grain points in also but i have a right tear with these heavier points. I have a Centergy @ the bow shop awaiting a swap of cams with my other rest on that bow. Wasn't planning on messing with the rest on the CT 5 which is perfect 4 that setup. My ? is which way 2 I move & tinker the Nexxus since I haven't had a need 2 touch it once over the last year? Thanks for your great videos which r very easy 2 follow 4 all skill levels.

[@edwardpockett4862]

Hi ya bud great videos! Quick question I've just got a vertix 70lbs at 29 340 spine or 300 what you reckon? 🤔

[@HuntUrban]

I'd say 300 at first glance, but I recommend considering what weight you're going to be shooting in front of the arrow. I like to add weight to get my FOC higher, and therefore always go stiffer on spine.

[@j.g.2825]

I’m not sure if I can take cams off and change top hats. Once our dealer gets us out the door that’s it. They wanna charge extra for stuff like that. Bowtech on the other hand I just have to twist a string or better yet now I just have to turn a screw to move cam left or right. Wish Mathews would do that cause I love those bows. Ty for the video.

[@RC_Nerd801]

Find another dealer. I understand that they may have to charge you for the top hat kits but if they sell you the bow they should be making damn sure it shoots great when you leave.

Yeah man I wish. Ty for the video. I swear it’s the dealers that make archery so complicated.

Great video, love the content. Any suggestions on getting 1/8 timing issue out. I put the bow on the draw board and no matter what I do its the same. Tighten and loosen cables and still the same. Obviously, it change cam to cam..

[@brettu45]

Great vid on the subject. Why don't you shoot the bareshaft at your furthest range (15 yds in your basement). Wouldn't that show deviation in the arrow better than a fletched shaft? Don't the flethchings help to stabilize the arrow's flight?

[@HuntUrban]

Yes, a bare shaft will show greater deviation than a fletched shaft, however, that deviation sometimes isn't the bow. A bare shaft will sometimes show shooter flaws that aren't consistent, and therefore make you chase your tail around. Also, it's hard to perfectly replicate the weight on the back of the bare shaft vs. fletched, so I've found it better to tune with fletched past 10' through paper. The fletchings do help stabilize the arrow, but it won't correct it to perfect. It's amazing how perfect I can get a bare shaft at 10' (and I mean PERFECT), only to see a tear show up at 15 yards. Lastly, shooting the fletched arrow helps rule out any fletching contact. If there was any, it would show up pretty noticably at the 15 yard mark.

[@8721superboat]

[@randyalbright2011]

[@caseyberning7789]

What do you consider short ATA and long ATA? And is adding or subtracting twists going to be the same for any brand of bow based on that ATA?

[@PNW-ADV]

Hi there, thanks for the info. I just bought a vertix and i was a bit disappointed with how quickly they "tuned" my brand new bow. Question for ya, When i pull my bow back ( 70 lbs) which is a bit heavy for me .... the bow "dumps" hard ...and has that side to side shake as i get to my anchor point. I don't see others' vertixs doing this when i watch videos .... is this an indication of my cams not being timed? is it not tuned well? ...or is it because i'm pulling max weight for me? thanks!

[@HuntUrban]

Sounds like the timing is off. That feeling of the dump is caused by cams that aren't timed. Do you have access to a bow press?

[@PNW-ADV]

@@HuntUrban Thanks for the advice. I don't have a bowpress...but the shop does and i bought it brand new ...and paid top dollar. I'll request they take a second look into this for me. Appreciate your advice.

[@briankimminau4953]

Great vid. Only difference I would argue is that this is not “super tuning” this is just normal tuning. If you’re not setting up your bow like this then you should not be hunting with it.

[@mbuchholz061]

Just setting up my V3 and to get center shot at 13/16 I need to move my rest (Hamskea hybrid hunter) pretty far to the left. Is that normal/OK or should I start messing with the top hats to try and bring the string right? When the arrow is nocked it looks straight on the shelf. I just don’t like the fact the rest is almost of room to move further left if needed. Thanks!

Question. I got my Vertix in this week and it feels nothing like it did in November when I shot the one that my local archery shop had. In November I was super impressed with the valley and the shootability of the bow. This bow is crazy aggressive! The bow shop bow was 70/85 and my bow is 75/85. Do you think the 5 lb difference in mods is making it that much more aggressive in the draw cycle?

[@vm859]

Make sure the draw stops are hitting at the same time is the only thing i can think of.

[@HuntUrban]

It sounds like the timing on your bow is off. This will cause exactly what you're saying you're feeling. Check it on a draw board and make sure the bow is in proper timing and you should be good to go

[@robertahlholm6412]

Did you setting Mathews bow Halon 32” and Halon X Comp 37”? Do you have any suggestion? I setting the center shot by laser and bind up about 21 mm instead 20.6 mm (13/16”). Any other suggestion it will very appreciate.

[@HuntUrban]

I always start them right at 13/16". Once I get back to 20 yards and am shooting a fletched shaft through paper, I might move it slightly (1/32" - 1/64"). Overall, I don't really care if it isn't dead on 13/16", just as long as it was there when I went back to 20 yards, and it's a perfect tear through paper. This tells me that the powerstroke of the bow is correct, and I have the proper top hat system in the bow. The rest is just getting the arrow to accept that power correctly - does that make sense?

[@jasonyoung9499]

One major component you left out .. Arrow spine .. a properly spined arrow will not need top hat adjustment. Cheers 🍻

[@HuntUrban]

Howdy!! You are correct - arrow spine is very important - however, even with a perfectly spined arrow, you sometimes need to shim the cams slightly to adjust the powerstroke of the bow, but proper spined arrows are very, very important. I have a video coming soon regarding arrow building that should cover everything! Most importantly - Cheers back!!

Sean Jyringi - no, that’s not normal. Set your rest back to dead level and running through the middle of the Berger hope. Your cam timing is off and causing the vertical tear.

[@colescott8459]

What makes this a "super tune"..? I feel like this is just a standard tune. I would consider a super tune to be yoke tuning, walk back tuning, and torque tuning (for the crazies) but every shop should be doing this "super tune" for every bow going out the door. Just a thought, would love to hear your feedback...

[@HuntUrban]

Cole - this bow doesn't have yokes, so by top hat tuning (or shim tuning), you're moving the cam to effectively change the center shot of the bow. By shooting the bare shaft through paper up close, then walking back to 15-20 yards and shooting through paper, it will almost 100% eliminate the need for walk back tuning. I always verify that at 50 yards after tuning, but to date, and over 100 bows tuned, haven't had a single one be off. This system is really a super simple, quick, efficient way to get your bow fully dialed.

[@colescott8459]

Hunt Urban good to know, thanks. Do you have any thoughts on French tuning?

[@RCR740]

Do you confirm with walk back tuning your rest? Out to 30 yards and beyond

[@HuntUrban]

You can, but I've found the walking back through paper out to 20 yards to really minimize any movement needed. Out of the last 100-150 bows I've tuned this way, they've shot great out to 80+ yards. I think people tend to cant the bow more than anything causing an improper reading when doing the walk-back tune, but if it'll shoot a perfect hole through paper at 20 yards (and I mean, PERFECT!!!), you won't find a bow that will shoot anything better!

[@RCR740]

Hunt Urban so all you’re adjusting to get that bullet hole at 10-15 yards through paper is the yolks or tophat in this case? You don’t adjust left to right on the rest once you set that centershot?

[@HuntUrban]

No, not exactly. At 6-10' I shoot a bare shaft and make adjustments ONLY to the top hats, once I verify that the centershot is 100% spot on correct at 13/16", and running dead level. After that, I will make adjustments to the bow using the top hats. After that, when I get back to 15 yards and shoot a fletched arrow, I might make a TINY adjustment to the rest (i.e. 1/64"). If that doesn't fix the tear (and it normally does), I will change the top hats again.

[@RCR740]

Hunt Urban roger that I gotcha now man thanks for the clarification!!

[@chadcharbonneau2154]

Per the tetra instructions you can't set the second axis until your 20 yard distance is set. You don't mess with your third?

[@HuntUrban]

Hey Chad - I always do my third axis as well, but I wait until the bow is 100% spot on at 20 yards. I like to make sure the 2nd is set before I sight in, just so when I'm tuning I know the arrow is leaving perfectly level. This step isn't needed, I just do it because I'm super anal!

Hunt urban PLEASE TELL ME HOW RUNNING MY ARROW WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE ARROW THROUGH THE BURGER HOLE MAKES MY BOW HOLD ON TARGET BETTER????????

[@HuntUrban]

By running the arrow slightly higher in the berger hole and dead level, you're changing where you're pulling on the bow in relation to dead center between the cams, and grip location (which isn't dead center), therefore helping a slight counterbalance, and effectively making the bow hold steadier at full draw.

I’m suprised you didn’t go with the Traverse being a 31” draw length..

[@HuntUrban]

I was thinking about it! But I like the shorter ATA for saddle hunting.... might just have to get both!

Are u the dude that was on the first lite urban hunt quick vid where ur shooting deer in backyards and donating to the hunters for the hungry?

[@HuntUrban]

Squatchin Outdoors - yup, that was me! Hope you enjoyed the film.

[@squatchfamilyoutdoors9041]

Heck yeah man that’s how I hunt here in Indiana! It was cool to see a video with someone else doing that I don’t have as many properties and my tag count is lower, but other than that I’m hunting in backyards and stuff just like you. I have regular properties as well but the challenge of hunting in tight quarters is rewarding. I’m going to subscribe to your channel man. I’m going thru a video editing courses and I’ll be uploading content soon. Thanks for taking the time to make this video !

What kind adjustments are you making to the bow at six and 10 feet ?you talk about making adjustments to the rest that 15 yards but nothing at six and 10 feet!

[@HuntUrban]

When I'm shooting through paper at 6' (then 10'), I'm making adjustments to the cam once I have verified that the centershot and arrow height are correct. Once I get back to 15 yards, I'll make minor adjustments to the rest, BUT, if I make a rest adjustment and see no improvement, I'll make another adjustment to the cam.
