I've managed to get the first stage of tuning sorted
If the tuning is 'sorted' then the pin should be close to/on centreshot i.e. zero windage for both arrow sets. That they are not suggests maybe there's some room for improvement

Simple way to basic tune is to put the pin at centreshot and adjust so that the arrows hit where the bow is pointed.
I'd wondered about that, but in each case the bare shaft is falling within the group. However it was indoors and just 18 metres. A walk back test from 20 to 45 metres with the ACCs was vertical, which suggests they may be better tuned than the X7s.

My thought was that the centre shot is a bit subjective as I cannot focus on the string and the end of the arrow shaft, so it may not be exactly the width of the shaft outside the string (this is recurve by the way). I would expect this inaccuracy to have an effect.

But now I know I should be able to get the windage the same for both sets of arrows, I'll persevere with button tension adjustments for the X7s and see if they get closer to the same windage setting as the ACCs.

Ta,

Mike
