Slowly (and I mean slowly) draw back to your normal anchor whilst looking through the sights, if the bow has a tendacy to rise as you pull back it means that your tiller is too much, if it falls as you draw then your tiller is too little. In this way you are tuning the tiller to suit YOU and the equipment.
I do so like something I can grasp!
