Button Tuning

[celticjedi]

Has anyone used the "Tuning for Tens" guide from here:

http://www.texasarchery.org/L1/DocumentsRecords.htm

IF yes/no anyone got any advice or some better guidelines for button tuning?

Any help/advice welcome.

I use the Tuning for Tens method all the time. I think it works very well indeed. However, I don't actually do the paper tuning part. I think for a finger shooter its not that consistent - I revert back to bareshaft tuning for that section of the tuning guide.</p>

I find once I have completed the stiff plunger tuning, that when I#get to do the walkback tuning I'm pretty much on the mark. So don't realy have to mess much after that.#</p>

I generally do the walkback tuning starting off at 50 or 60 yards - with 5 yard intervals - although, for some reason to do with physics I presume, I have start off at 15 or 20 yards because starting off at 5 yards from the target, then moving to 10 the arrows group together - no help </p>

Have you had a look at JoeTapley's pages - there is a wealth of info on different tuning methods....http://homepage.ntlworld.com/joetapley/</p>

Thanks, I'm planning to give it a go this afternoon and was also planning to skip the paper tune bit too as a)I'm also too inconsistent and b)dont have any un-fletched shafts atm.

Have seen Joe's site, very interesting but this seemed a bit more straightforward, albeit that I was a little suspiscious of the 3/4" match technique!

Tuning for tens is probably the best method I know for tuning.

Barry C - Do you do#the Paper Tuning method from Tuning for Tens?</p>

[Barry C]

I don't, I am one of those people that is not a big believer in the information paper tuning can give a recurve shooter. The arrow is flexing all the way to the target so you will probably never get a straight tear.</p>

To be honest I don't really bother too much about tuning. As long as my arrows is flying well and groups ok I just leave it alone. Maybe to my own detriment but I'm lazy </p>

I've never read it but from hearsay there was a fairly sensible tuning guide written by Simon Needham in the 'Glade' a few years ago.
Tuning for Tens - mmm but if OTT at least a systematic approach.
