    whisker buskuit

    Hi there, do the same rules apply for adjusting my bow with a WB rest. Iam getting a tail high reading on a paper test. Thanks

    The reason I ask is I have read a few threads that say a high nocking point is better for WB tuneing.
    My bow seemed pretty tuned doing the walkback tuning.
    I built an arrow spinner and am picking up the G5 insert squaring tool today.
    Once in a while I do notice my arrow leaves the bow tail high, not sure if it is bad form or tuneing. Thanks

    I'm assuming that the WB is the right size for your shafts? Not too tight or too sloppy?

    I've always done a level nocking point when shooting with a release - it just propels the arrow straighter as it leaves the bow. In other words, it doesn't impart either a downward nor an upward characteristic to the arrow flight as it is trying to stabilize within the first 5 yards of the shot.

    There is enough force(s) for the fletching to overcome, and to get the arrow spinning, I don't like introducing a different type of torque to the dynamics.

    hI , WELL did some tinkering but my results were the same, Bh still 3 inches lower than FP, I am wondering if the rest is bumping the tail of the arrow up when it leaves the bow, the field point recovers quickly but the broadhead can't.

    A whisker bisquit well expose bad form. its quit likely you are droping your bow before the fletches are getting to the bisquit.

    Probably a mute point but make sure you are shooting cock vane up as wb's are designed to shoot that way.
