| tuning with a rigid button
If a recurve archer starts their tuning with a rigid button, and the arrow on dead centre shot(not off set away from the sight window)using arrows that are a good match, the bare shaft should land close to the fletched one, yes?
By speeding up the bow, or slowing it down, the bare shafts can be made to land even closer, if they were not ideal the first time.
The next stage might be to adjust the sight to get the group to land where they are being aimed. Having set the sight to give the desired results, where should the sight be in relation to the arrow? My guess is that the sight will be almost directly above the arrow.Perhaps not quite so close if the string picture is off to one side of the sight. (How far above will depend on the distance being shot.)
Is it possible to have well matched arrows, as indicated by this tuning method, and for the sight to be noticeably off to one side of the arrow at the stage I have just mentioned? My guess is that it would be very unlikely. I have never used this method, but would like to learn about what to look for at the different stages.
Thanks  |
